[docs]def execute_process(cmd, cwd=None, env=None, shell=False, emulate_tty=False):
"""Executes a command with arguments and returns output line by line.
All arguments, except ``emulate_tty``, are passed directly to
:py:class:`subprocess.Popen`.
``execute_process`` returns a generator which yields the output, line by
line, until the subprocess finishes at which point the return code
is yielded.
This is an example of how this function should be used:
.. code-block:: python
from __future__ import print_function
from osrf_pycommon.process_utils import execute_process
cmd = ['ls', '-G']
for line in execute_process(cmd, cwd='/usr'):
if isinstance(line, int):
# This is a return code, the command has exited
print("'{0}' exited with: {1}".format(' '.join(cmd), line))
continue # break would also be appropriate here
# In Python 3, it will be a bytes array which needs to be decoded
if not isinstance(line, str):
line = line.decode('utf-8')
# Then print it to the screen
print(line, end='')
``stdout`` and ``stderr`` are always captured together and returned line
by line through the returned generator.
New line characters are preserved in the output, so if re-printing the data
take care to use ``end=''`` or first ``rstrip`` the output lines.
When ``emulate_tty`` is used on Unix systems, commands will identify that
they are on a tty and should output color to the screen as if you were
running it on the terminal, and therefore there should not be any need to
pass arguments like ``-c color.ui=always`` to commands like ``git``.
Additionally, programs might also behave differently in when
``emulate_tty`` is being used, for example, Python will default to
unbuffered output when it detects a tty.
``emulate_tty`` works by using psuedo-terminals on Unix machines, and so
if you are running this command many times in parallel (like hundreds
of times) then you may get one of a few different :py:exc:`OSError`'s.
For example, "OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/dev/ttyp0'" or
"OSError: out of pty devices".
You should also be aware that you share pty devices with the rest of the
system, so even if you are not using a lot, it is possible to get
this error.
You can catch this error before getting data from the generator, so when
using ``emulate_tty`` you might want to do something like this:
.. code-block:: python
from __future__ import print_function
from osrf_pycommon.process_utils import execute_process
cmd = ['ls', '-G', '/usr']
try:
output = execute_process(cmd, emulate_tty=True)
except OSError:
output = execute_process(cmd, emulate_tty=False)
for line in output:
if isinstance(line, int):
print("'{0}' exited with: {1}".format(' '.join(cmd), line))
continue
# In Python 3, it will be a bytes array which needs to be decoded
if not isinstance(line, str):
line = line.decode('utf-8')
print(line, end='')
This way if a pty cannot be opened in order to emulate the tty then you
can try again without emulation, and any other :py:exc:`OSError` should
raise again with ``emulate_tty`` set to ``False``.
Obviously, you only want to do this if emulating the tty is non-critical
to your processing, like when you are using it to capture color.
Any color information that the command outputs as ANSI escape sequences
is captured by this command.
That way you can print the output to the screen and preserve the color
formatting.
If you do not want color to be in the output, then try setting
``emulate_tty`` to ``False``, but that does not guarantee that there is no
color in the output, instead it only will cause called processes to
identify that they are not being run in a terminal.
Most well behaved programs will not output color if they detect that
they are not being executed in a terminal, but you shouldn't rely on that.
If you want to ensure there is no color in the output from an executed
process, then use this function:
:py:func:`osrf_pycommon.terminal_color.remove_ansi_escape_senquences`
Exceptions can be raised by functions called by the implementation,
for example, :py:class:`subprocess.Popen` can raise an :py:exc:`OSError`
when the given command is not found.
If you want to check for the existence of an executable on the path,
see: :py:func:`which`.
However, this function itself does not raise any special exceptions.
:param list cmd: list of strings with the first item being a command
and subsequent items being any arguments to that command;
passed directly to :py:class:`subprocess.Popen`.
:param str cwd: path in which to run the command, defaults to None which
means :py:func:`os.getcwd` is used;
passed directly to :py:class:`subprocess.Popen`.
:param dict env: environment dictionary to use for executing the command,
default is None which uses the :py:obj:`os.environ` environment;
passed directly to :py:class:`subprocess.Popen`.
:param bool shell: If True the system shell is used to evaluate the
command, default is False;
passed directly to :py:class:`subprocess.Popen`.
:param bool emulate_tty: If True attempts to use a pty to convince
subprocess's that they are being run in a terminal. Typically this is
useful for capturing colorized output from commands. This does not
work on Windows (no pty's), so it is considered False even when True.
Defaults to False.

):
""":py:func:`execute_process`, except ``stderr`` is returned separately.
Instead of yielding output line by line until yielding a return code, this
function always a triplet of ``stdout``, ``stderr``, and return code.
Each time only one of the three will not be None.
Once you receive a non-None return code (type will be int) there will be no
more ``stdout`` or ``stderr``.
Therefore you can use the command like this:
.. code-block:: python
from __future__ import print_function
import sys
from osrf_pycommon.process_utils import execute_process_split
cmd = ['time', 'ls', '-G']
for out, err, ret in execute_process_split(cmd, cwd='/usr'):
# In Python 3, it will be a bytes array which needs to be decoded
out = out.decode('utf-8') if out is not None else None
err = err.decode('utf-8') if err is not None else None
if ret is not None:
# This is a return code, the command has exited
print("'{0}' exited with: {1}".format(' '.join(cmd), ret))
break
if out is not None:
print(out, end='')
if err is not None:
print(err, end='', file=sys.stderr)
When using this, it is possible that the ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` data can
be returned in a different order than what would happen on the terminal.
This is due to the fact that the subprocess is given different buffers for
``stdout`` and ``stderr`` and so there is a race condition on the
subprocess writing to the different buffers and this command reading the
buffers.
This can be avoided in most scenarios by using ``emulate_tty``, because of
the use of ``pty``'s, though the ordering can still not be guaranteed and
the number of ``pty``'s is finite as explained in the documentation for
:py:func:`execute_process`.
For situations where output ordering between ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` are
critical, they should not be returned separately and instead should share
one buffer, and so :py:func:`execute_process` should be used.
For all other parameters and documentation see: :py:func:`execute_process`
