python - 如何从 subprocess.Popen.stdout 读取所有可用数据(非阻塞)？

Question

我需要一种方法来读取 Popen 创建的流中所有当前可用的字符，或者找出缓冲区中剩余的字符数。

背景:我想用 Python 远程控制一个交互式应用程序。到目前为止，我使用 Popen 创建了一个新的子进程:

process=subprocess.Popen(["python"],shell=True,stdin=subprocess.PIPE,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE, cwd=workingDir)

(我不是真的开始python，但实际的交互界面是相似的。)目前我读取了 1 个字节，直到我检测到进程已到达命令提示符:

output = ""
while output[-6:]!="SCIP> ":
    output += process.stdout.read(1)
    sys.stdout.write(output[-1])
return output

然后我通过 process.stdin.write("command\n") 开始一个冗长的计算。我的问题是，我无法检查计算是否完成，因为我无法检查流中的最后一个字符是否是提示符。 read() 或 read(n) 阻塞我的线程，直到它到达 EOF，它永远不会，因为交互式程序在被告知之前不会结束。以上述循环的方式寻找提示也行不通，因为提示只会在计算之后出现。

理想的解决方案是让我从流中读取所有可用字符，如果没有可读取的内容，则立即返回一个空字符串。

Popen 的标准输出的增量解析真的不是问题。只需将管道插入线程并让它通过输出擦洗，寻找分隔符。根据您的喜好，它可以将其通过管道传输到另一个管道/文件中，或者以异步模式将解析的“ block ”放在“堆栈”上。下面是一个基于自定义分隔符的 stdout 异步“分 block ”示例:

import cStringIO
import uuid
import threading
import os

class InputStreamChunker(threading.Thread):
    '''
    Threaded object / code that mediates reading output from a stream,
    detects "separation markers" in the stream and spits out chunks
    of original stream, split when ends of chunk are encountered.

    Results are made available as a list of filled file-like objects
    (your choice). Results are accessible either "asynchronously"
    (you can poll at will for results in a non-blocking way) or
    "synchronously" by exposing a "subscribe and wait" system based
    on threading.Event flags.

    Usage:
    - instantiate this object
    - give our input pipe as "stdout" to other subprocess and start it:
        Popen(..., stdout = th.input, ...)
    - (optional) subscribe to data_available event
    - pull resulting file-like objects off .data
      (if you are "messing" with .data from outside of the thread,
       be curteous and wrap the thread-unsafe manipulations between:
       obj.data_unoccupied.clear()
       ... mess with .data
       obj.data_unoccupied.set()
       The thread will not touch obj.data for the duration and will
       block reading.)
