python os.popen阻塞,python os.popen 超时问题

python 版本 2.5.4 (在高版本python中提倡使用 subprocess.Popen 取代 os.popen)

os.popen 会出现过长时间等待导致阻塞问题， 解决方法如下：

def TIMEOUT_COMMAND(command, timeout):

"""call shell-command and either return its output or kill it

if it doesn't normally exit within timeout seconds and return None"""

import subprocess, datetime, os, time, signal

cmd = command.split(" ")

start = datetime.datetime.now()

process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

while process.poll() is None:

time.sleep(0.2)

now = datetime.datetime.now()

if (now - start).seconds> timeout:

os.kill(process.pid, signal.SIGKILL)

os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG)

return None

return process.stdout.readlines()
