Run a program from python, and have it continue to run after the script is killed
I’ve tried running things like this:
subprocess
subprocess wildcard usage
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. If I do ls *.bc manually in the command line it works. Doing [‘ls’,’test.bc’] inside the script works as well but for some reason the … Read more
subprocess.call using string vs using list
I am trying to use rsync with subprocess.call. Oddly, it works if I pass subprocess.call a string, but it won’t work with a list (ala, Python’s doc).
Displaying subprocess output to stdout and redirecting it
I’m running a script via Python’s subprocess module. Currently I use:
Python popen command. Wait until the command is finished
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.
Popen waiting for child process even when the immediate child has terminated
I’m working with Python 2.7 on Windows 8/XP.
Run command and get its stdout, stderr separately in near real time like in a terminal
I am trying to find a way in Python to run other programs in such a way that:
Python subprocess.call a bash alias
At work there’s a script that lists completed tasks. This was written by someone else and is hosted over the network. I have an alias in my .bashrc that calls this script, with its many flags and such, and I wanted to write a python script that would call this alias every few minutes so I can have a shell open with updated stats. However, subprocess.call("myAlias") fails. I’m still fairly new to python, and am struggling to figure this out.
Understanding Popen.communicate
I have a script named 1st.py which creates a REPL (read-eval-print-loop):
Interactive input/output using Python
I have a program that interacts with the user (acts like a shell), and I want to run it using the Python subprocess module interactively.
That means, I want the possibility to write to standard input and immediately get the output from standard output. I tried many solutions offered here, but none of them seems to work for my needs.
