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), and the total process runtime as a dictionary
- 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, the returned dictionary contains information how much was read by 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
