How would one call a shell command from Python which contains a pipe and capture the output?
如何从Python调用包含管道并捕获输出的shell命令?
Suppose the command was something like:
假设命令是这样的:
cat file.log | tail -1
The Perl equivalent of what I am trying to do would be something like:
Perl相当于我想要做的事情就像:
my $string = `cat file.log | tail -1`;

Use a subprocess.PIPE, as explained in the subprocess docs section "Replacing shell pipeline":
使用subprocess.PIPE,如子流程文档部分“替换shell管道”中所述:
import subprocess
p1 = subprocess.Popen(["cat", "file.log"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
p2 = subprocess.Popen(["tail", "-1"], stdin=p1.stdout, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
p1.stdout.close() # Allow p1 to receive a SIGPIPE if p2 exits.
output,err = p2.communicate()
Or, using the sh
module, piping becomes composition of functions:
或者,使用sh模块,管道成为功能组合:
import sh
output = sh.tail(sh.cat('file.log'), '-1')

import subprocess
task = subprocess.Popen("cat file.log | tail -1", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
data = task.stdout.read()
assert task.wait() == 0
Note that this does not capture stderr. And if you want to capture stderr as well, you'll need to use task.communicate()
; calling task.stdout.read()
and then task.stderr.read()
can deadlock if the buffer for stderr fills. If you want them combined, you should be able to use 2>&1
as part of the shell command.
请注意,这不会捕获stderr。如果你想捕获stderr,你需要使用task.communicate();如果stderr的缓冲区填充,则调用task.stdout.read()然后task.stderr.read()会死锁。如果你想要它们的组合,你应该能够使用2>&1作为shell命令的一部分。
But given your exact case,
但鉴于你的具体情况,
task = subprocess.Popen(['tail', '-1', 'file.log'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
data = task.stdout.read()
assert task.wait() == 0
avoids the need for the pipe at all.
根本不需要管道。

This:
import subprocess
p = subprocess.Popen("cat file.log | tail -1", shell=False, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
#Try shell=True if the above doesn't work with shell=False
p_stdout = p.stdout.read()
p_stderr = p.stderr.read()
print p_stdout
Or this should work:
或者这应该工作:
import os
result = os.system("cat file.log | tail -1")

Another way similar to Popen would be:
另一种类似于Popen的方式是:
command=r"""cat file.log | tail -1 """
output=subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True)

This is a fork from @chown with some improvements:
这是@chown的一个分支,有一些改进:
- an alias for
import subprocess
, makes easier when setting parameters - if you just want the output, you don't need to set
stderr
orstdin
when callingPopen
- for better formatting, it's recommended to decode the output
-
shell=True
is necessary, in order to call an interpreter for the command line
导入子进程的别名,在设置参数时更容易
如果你只想要输出,那么在调用Popen时你不需要设置stderr或stdin
为了更好的格式化,建议解码输出
shell = True是必要的,以便为命令行调用解释器
#!/usr/bin/python3
import subprocess as sp
p = sp.Popen("cat app.log | grep guido", shell=True, stdout=sp.PIPE)
output = p.stdout.read()
print(output.decode('utf-8'))
$ cat app.log
