Back to search · Project homepage

Description

command_runner's purpose is to run external commands from Python, just like "subprocess" on which it relies, while solving various problems a developer may face, including: - Handling of all possible subprocess.popen / subprocess.check_output scenarios / python versions in one handy function without encoding / timeout hassle. - Allow stdout/stderr stream output to be redirected to callback functions / output queues / files so you get to handle output in your application while commands are running. - Callback to optional stop check so we can stop execution from outside command_runner. - Callback with optional process information so we get to control the process from outside command_runner.
