python stdout timeout_python：运行带有超时的进程并捕获stdout，stderr和退出状态

What is the easiest way to do the following in Python:

Run an external process

Capture stdout in a string, stderr, and exit status

Set a timeout.

I would like something like this:

import proc

try:

status, stdout, stderr = proc.run(["ls", "-l"], timeout=10)

except proc.Timeout:

print "failed"

解决方案

I hate doing the work by myself. Just copy this into your proc.py module.

import subprocess

import time

import sys

class Timeout(Exception):

pass

def run(command, timeout=10):

proc = subprocess.Popen(command, bufsize=0, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

poll_seconds = .250

deadline = time.time()+timeout

while time.time() < deadline and proc.poll() == None:

time.sleep(poll_seconds)

if proc.poll() == None:

if float(sys.version[:3]) >= 2.6:

proc.terminate()

raise Timeout()

stdout, stderr = proc.communicate()

return stdout, stderr, proc.returncode

if __name__=="__main__":

print run(["ls", "-l"])

print run(["find", "/"], timeout=3) #should timeout
