The Python subprocess module allows you to spawn new processes, connect to their input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes. Use it to run a shell command or an executable in Python.
The Python subprocess module allows you to spawn new processes, connect to their input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes.
If you want to run Python code in a separate process consider multiprocessing instead.
I have a main process which creates two or more sub processes, I want main process to wait until all sub processes finish their operations and exits?
# main_script.py
p1 = subprocess.Popen(['python script1.py'])
p2 = subprocess.Popen(['python…
I want to run a command in pythong, using the subprocess module, and store the output in a variable. However, I do not want the command's output to be printed to the terminal.
For this code:
def storels():
a =…
I'm launching a number of subprocesses with subprocess.Popen in Python.
I'd like to check whether one such process has completed. I've found two ways of checking the status of a subprocess, but both seem to force the process to complete.
One is…
My work should use parallel techniques, and I am new user of Python. I wonder if you could share some material about the Python multiprocessing and subprocess modules. What is the difference between these two?
I want to subprocess.Popen() rsync.exe in Windows, and print the stdout in Python.
My code works, but it doesn't catch the progress until a file transfer is done! I want to print the progress for each file in real time.
Using Python 3.1 now since I…
I'm trying to write a Python script that starts a subprocess, and writes to the subprocess stdin. I'd also like to be able to determine an action to be taken if the subprocess crashes.
The process I'm trying to start is a program called nuke which…
I have a script where I launch with popen a shell command.
The problem is that the script doesn't wait until that popen command is finished and go continues right away.
om_points = os.popen(command, "w")

How can I tell to my Python script to…
import subprocess
def my_function(x):
return x + 100
output = subprocess.Popen(my_function, 1) #I would like to pass the function object and its arguments
print output
#desired output: 101
I have only found documentation on opening…
I'm using Python's subprocess.communicate() to read stdout from a process that runs for about a minute.
How can I print out each line of that process's stdout in a streaming fashion, so that I can see the output as it's generated, but still block…
When executing subprocess.run() as given in the Python docs, I get a TypeError:
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.run(["ls", "-l", "/dev/null"], capture_output=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

I'm completely confused between subprocess.call() , subprocess.Popen(), subprocess.check_call().
Which is blocking and which is not ?
What I mean to say is if I use subprocess.Popen() whether the parent process waits for the child process to…
I'm looking for a Python solution that will allow me to save the output of a command in a file without hiding it from the console.
FYI: I'm asking about tee (as the Unix command line utility) and not the function with the same name from Python…
I have a script named 1st.py which creates a REPL (read-eval-print-loop):
print "Something to print"
while True:
r = raw_input()
if r == 'n':
print "exiting"
break
else:
print "continuing"
I then launched 1st.py…
I am using a scientific software including a Python script that is calling os.system() which is used to run another scientific program. While the subprocess is running, Python at some point prints the following:
close failed in file object…
import os
import subprocess
proc = subprocess.Popen(['ls','*.bc'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
out,err = proc.communicate()
print out
This script should print all the files with .bc suffix however it returns an empty list.…
