下面是运行任意命令返回其标准输出数据的Python代码,或在非零退出码上引发异常:

proc = subprocess.Popen(
    cmd,
    stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,  # Merge stdout and stderr
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    shell=True)

communication用于等待进程退出:

stdoutdata, stderrdata = proc.communicate()

子进程模块不支持超时——杀死运行超过X秒的进程的能力——因此,通信可能需要很长时间才能运行。

在Windows和Linux上运行的Python程序中实现超时的最简单方法是什么?


当前回答

只是想写些简单点的东西。

#!/usr/bin/python

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import datetime
import time 

popen = Popen(["/bin/sleep", "10"]);
pid = popen.pid
sttime = time.time();
waittime =  3

print "Start time %s"%(sttime)

while True:
    popen.poll();
    time.sleep(1)
    rcode = popen.returncode
    now = time.time();
    if [ rcode is None ]  and  [ now > (sttime + waittime) ] :
        print "Killing it now"
        popen.kill()

        popen.kill()

另一种选择是写入临时文件以防止标准输出阻塞,而不需要使用communication()轮询。在其他答案没有的地方,这个方法对我有用;比如在窗户上。

    outFile =  tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile() 
    errFile =   tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile() 
    proc = subprocess.Popen(args, stderr=errFile, stdout=outFile, universal_newlines=False)
    wait_remaining_sec = timeout

    while proc.poll() is None and wait_remaining_sec > 0:
        time.sleep(1)
        wait_remaining_sec -= 1

    if wait_remaining_sec <= 0:
        killProc(proc.pid)
        raise ProcessIncompleteError(proc, timeout)

    # read temp streams from start
    outFile.seek(0);
    errFile.seek(0);
    out = outFile.read()
    err = errFile.read()
    outFile.close()
    errFile.close()

我有一个问题,我想终止一个多线程子进程,如果它花费的时间超过给定的超时长度。我想在Popen()中设置一个超时,但它不起作用。然后,我意识到Popen().wait()等于call(),所以我有了在.wait(timeout=xxx)方法中设置超时的想法,这最终工作了。因此,我是这样解决的:

import os
import sys
import signal
import subprocess
from multiprocessing import Pool

cores_for_parallelization = 4
timeout_time = 15  # seconds

def main():
    jobs = [...YOUR_JOB_LIST...]
    with Pool(cores_for_parallelization) as p:
        p.map(run_parallel_jobs, jobs)

def run_parallel_jobs(args):
    # Define the arguments including the paths
    initial_terminal_command = 'C:\\Python34\\python.exe'  # Python executable
    function_to_start = 'C:\\temp\\xyz.py'  # The multithreading script
    final_list = [initial_terminal_command, function_to_start]
    final_list.extend(args)

    # Start the subprocess and determine the process PID
    subp = subprocess.Popen(final_list)  # starts the process
    pid = subp.pid

    # Wait until the return code returns from the function by considering the timeout. 
    # If not, terminate the process.
    try:
        returncode = subp.wait(timeout=timeout_time)  # should be zero if accomplished
    except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
        # Distinguish between Linux and Windows and terminate the process if 
        # the timeout has been expired
        if sys.platform == 'linux2':
            os.kill(pid, signal.SIGTERM)
        elif sys.platform == 'win32':
            subp.terminate()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

我已经修改了sussudio的答案。现在函数返回:(returncode, stdout, stderr, timeout) - stdout和stderr被解码为utf-8字符串

def kill_proc(proc, timeout):
  timeout["value"] = True
  proc.kill()

def run(cmd, timeout_sec):
  proc = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(cmd), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
  timeout = {"value": False}
  timer = Timer(timeout_sec, kill_proc, [proc, timeout])
  timer.start()
  stdout, stderr = proc.communicate()
  timer.cancel()
  return proc.returncode, stdout.decode("utf-8"), stderr.decode("utf-8"), timeout["value"]

在Python 3.7.8中超时测试后捕获的输出示例:

try:
    return subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, timeout=20, cwd=cwd, universal_newlines=True)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired as e:
    print(e.output.decode(encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore"))
    assert False;

异常子进程。TimeoutExpired有输出和其他成员:

cmd -用于生成子进程的命令。 timeout -超时时间,单位为秒。 output -子进程的输出,如果它是由run()或 check_output()。否则,没有。 stdout -输出的别名,用于与stderr对称。 stderr -子进程的stderr输出,如果它被捕获 run()。否则,没有。
