如何从subprocess.Popen.stdout(非阻塞)中读取所有可用数据？

Question

我需要一种方法来读取Popen创建的流中所有当前可用的字符,或者找出缓冲区中剩余的字符数.

Backround:我想用Python远程控制交互式应用程序.到目前为止,我使用Popen创建了一个新的子进程:

process=subprocess.Popen(["python"],shell=True,stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE, cwd=workingDir)

(我不是真正启动python,但实际的交互式界面是类似的.)目前我读取1个字节,直到我检测到进程已到达命令提示符:

output = ""
while output[-6:]!="SCIP> ":
    output += process.stdout.read(1)
    sys.stdout.write(output[-1])
return output

然后我开始一个冗长的计算process.stdin.write("command\n").我的问题是,我无法检查计算是否已经完成,因为我无法检查流中的最后一个字符是否是提示.read()或者read(n)阻止我的线程,直到它到达EOF,它永远不会,因为交互式程序在被告知之前不会结束.以上述循环方式查找提示也不起作用,因为提示只会在计算后发生.

理想的解决方案将允许我从流中读取所有可用字符,并立即返回空字符串,如果没有任何内容可读.

Popen stdout的增量解析确实不是问题.只需将一个管道插入一个线程并让它擦除输出,寻找分隔符.根据您的偏好,它可以将其传输到另一个管道/文件中,或者将解析后的"块"放在异步模式下的"堆栈"中.以下是基于自定义分隔符的stdout异步"分块"的示例:

import cStringIO
import uuid
import threading
import os

class InputStreamChunker(threading.Thread):
    '''
    Threaded object / code that mediates reading output from a stream,
    detects "separation markers" in the stream and spits out chunks
    of original stream, split when ends of chunk are encountered.

    Results are made available as a list of filled file-like objects
    (your choice). Results are accessible either "asynchronously"
    (you can poll at will for results in a non-blocking way) or
    "synchronously" by exposing a "subscribe and wait" system based
    on threading.Event flags.

    Usage:
    - instantiate this object
    - give our input pipe as "stdout" to other subprocess and start it:
        Popen(..., stdout = th.input, ...)
    - (optional) subscribe to data_available event
    - pull resulting file-like objects off .data
      (if you are "messing" with .data from outside of the thread,
       be curteous and wrap the thread-unsafe manipulations between:
       obj.data_unoccupied.clear()
       ... mess with .data
       obj.data_unoccupied.set()
       The thread will not touch obj.data for the duration and will
       block reading.)

四处闲逛，我发现了这个非常好的解决方案

持久化python子进程

它通过使用fcntl将子进程管道上的文件属性设置为非阻塞模式来避免阻塞问题，不需要辅助线程或轮询。我可能遗漏了一些东西，但它解决了我的交互式过程控制问题。
