Stderr are opened as text files, but lines may be terminated by any If universal_newlines is True, the file objects stdout and On Windows, in order to run a side-by-sideĪssembly the specified env must include a valid Note: If specified, env must provide any variables required for the program to execute. Of inheriting the current process’ environment, which is theĭefault behavior. If env is not None, it must be a mapping that defines theĮnvironment variables for the new process these are used instead Specify the program’s path relative to cwd. Is not considered when searching the executable, so you can’t If cwd is not None, the child’s current directory will beĬhanged to cwd before it is executed. If shell is True, the specified command will be executed Handles by setting stdin, stdout or stderr. Note that on Windows, youĬannot set close_fds to true and also redirect the standard Or, on Windows, if close_fds is true then no handles If close_fds is true, all file descriptors except 0, 1Īnd 2 will be closed before the child process is executed. If preexec_fn is set to a callable object, this object will beĬalled in the child process just before the child is executed. Stderr can be STDOUT, which indicates that the stderr dataįrom the applications should be captured into the same file handle With None, no redirection will occur the child’sįile handles will be inherited from the parent. PIPE indicates that a new pipe to the child shouldīe created. Valid values are PIPE, an existing fileĭescriptor (a positive integer), an existing file object, and Standard input, standard output and standard error file handles, Stdin, stdout and stderr specify the executed programs’ On Windows, the default shell is specified by the

Very seldom needed: Usually, the program to execute is defined by The executable argument specifies the program to execute. Theĭefault value for bufsize is 0 (unbuffered). Use the system default, which usually means fully buffered. The command line the same way: list2cmdline() is designed forĪpplications using the same rules as the MS C runtime.īufsize, if given, has the same meaning as the correspondingĪrgument to the built-in open() function: 0 means unbuffered,ġ means line buffered, any other positive value means use aīuffer of (approximately) that size. Please note that not all MS Windows applications interpret It will be converted to a string using the list2cmdline() On Windows: the Popen class uses CreateProcess() to execute theĬhild program, which operates on strings.

Sequence, the first item specifies the command string, and anyĪdditional items will be treated as additional shell arguments. On Unix, with shell=True: If args is a string, it specifies theĬommand string to execute through the shell. Sequence with the string as the only item (the program to execute). On Unix, with shell=False (default): In this case, the PopenĬlass uses os.execvp() to execute the child program. On Unix, it becomes the display name for theĮxecuting program in utilities such as ps. When executable is given, theįirst item in the args sequence is still treated by most programsĪs the command name, which can then be different from the actualĮxecutable name. Or the string if a string is given, but can be explicitly set by Program to execute is normally the first item in the args sequence

This module defines one class called Popen:Ĭlass class subprocess.Popen(args, bufsize=0, executable=None, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, preexec_fn=None, close_fds=False, shell=False, cwd=None, env=None, universal_newlines=False, startupinfo=None, creationflags=0)Īrgs should be a string, or a sequence of program arguments.
