procrunner 2.3.3

Description:

procrunner 2.3.3

ProcRunner







Versatile utility function to run external processes

Free software: BSD license
Documentation: https://procrunner.readthedocs.io.


Features

runs an external process and waits for it to finish
does not deadlock, no matter the process stdout/stderr output behaviour
returns the exit code, stdout, stderr (separately, both as bytestrings),
as a subprocess.CompletedProcess object
process can run in a custom environment, either as a modification of
the current environment or in a new environment from scratch
stdin can be fed to the process
stdout and stderr is printed by default, can be disabled
stdout and stderr can be passed to any arbitrary function for
live processing (separately, both as unicode strings)
optionally enforces a time limit on the process, raising a
subprocess.TimeoutExpired exception if it is exceeded.

History

2.3.3 (2022-03-23)

Allow specifying ‘preexec_fn’ and ‘creationflags’ keywords, which will be passed through to
the subprocess call



2.3.2 (2022-01-28)

The run() function now understands stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL to close the subprocess stdin,
rather than to connect through the existing stdin, which is the current default



2.3.1 (2021-10-25)

Add Python 3.10 support



2.3.0 (2020-10-29)

Add Python 3.9 support, drop Python 3.5 support
Fix a file descriptor leak on subprocess execution



2.2.0 (2020-09-07)

Calling the run() function with unnamed arguments (other than the command
list as the first argument) is now deprecated. As a number of arguments
will be removed in a future version the use of unnamed arguments will
cause future confusion. Use explicit keyword arguments instead (#62).
The run() function debug argument has been deprecated (#63).
This is only used to debug the NonBlockingStream* classes. Those are due
to be replaced in a future release, so the argument will no longer serve
a purpose. Debugging information remains available via standard logging
mechanisms.
Final version supporting Python 3.5



2.1.0 (2020-09-05)

Deprecated array access on the return object (#60).
The return object will become a subprocess.CompletedProcess in a future
release, which no longer allows array-based access. For a translation table
of array elements to attributes please see the pull request linked above.
Add a new parameter ‘raise_timeout_exception’ (#61).
When set to ‘True’ a subprocess.TimeoutExpired exception is raised when the
process runtime exceeds the timeout threshold. This defaults to ‘False’ and
will be set to ‘True’ in a future release.



2.0.0 (2020-06-24)

Python 3.5+ only, support for Python 2.7 has been dropped
Deprecated function alias run_process() has been removed
Fixed a stability issue on Windows



1.1.0 (2019-11-04)

Add Python 3.8 support, drop Python 3.4 support



1.0.2 (2019-05-20)

Stop environment override variables leaking into the process environment



1.0.1 (2019-04-16)

Minor fixes on the return object (implement equality,
mark as unhashable)



1.0.0 (2019-03-25)

Support file system path objects (PEP-519) in arguments
Change the return object to make it similar to
subprocess.CompletedProcess, introduced with Python 3.5+



0.9.1 (2019-02-22)

Have deprecation warnings point to correct code locations



0.9.0 (2018-12-07)

Trap UnicodeEncodeError when printing output. Offending characters
are replaced and a warning is logged once. Hints at incorrectly set
PYTHONIOENCODING.



0.8.1 (2018-12-04)

Fix a few deprecation warnings



0.8.0 (2018-10-09)

Add parameter working_directory to set the working directory
of the subprocess



0.7.2 (2018-10-05)

Officially support Python 3.7



0.7.1 (2018-09-03)

Accept environment variable overriding with numeric values.



0.7.0 (2018-05-13)

Unicode fixes. Fix crash on invalid UTF-8 input.
Clarify that stdout/stderr values are returned as bytestrings.
Callbacks receive the data decoded as UTF-8 unicode strings
with unknown characters replaced by ufffd (unicode replacement
character). Same applies to printing of output.
Mark stdin broken on Windows.



0.6.1 (2018-05-02)

Maintenance release to add some tests for executable resolution.



0.6.0 (2018-05-02)

Fix Win32 API executable resolution for commands containing a dot (‘.’) in
addition to a file extension (say ‘.bat’).



0.5.1 (2018-04-27)

Fix Win32API dependency installation on Windows.



0.5.0 (2018-04-26)

New keyword ‘win32resolve’ which only takes effect on Windows and is enabled
by default. This causes procrunner to call the Win32 API FindExecutable()
function to try and lookup non-.exe files with the corresponding name. This
means .bat/.cmd/etc.. files can now be run without explicitly specifying
their extension. Only supported on Python 2.7 and 3.5+.



0.4.0 (2018-04-23)

Python 2.7 support on Windows. Python3 not yet supported on Windows.



0.3.0 (2018-04-17)

run_process() renamed to run()
Python3 compatibility fixes



0.2.0 (2018-03-12)

Procrunner is now Python3 3.3-3.6 compatible.



0.1.0 (2018-03-12)

First release on PyPI.
