Hi,
I'm using the popen2 module to communicate with the crm114 text
classificator. First I used to create a subprocess, feed the text to
classify to it, close the crm's stdin file and read the results. Easy
enough.
However, the crm114 is a slow beast, and I try to increase its performanc by
using it in the "window"-mode. That means that the text fed to the
subprocess looks like this:
---START---
including bfast
---STOP---
The start/stop is detected by the crm114, and everything inbetween is
subject to classification. This simple protocol allows multiple
classifications without terminating the crm114 subprocess in between.
When performing this in my console window, everything works as expected. I
can paste several blocks of text that look like the above one, and the
crm114 constantly outputs classification results.
But when I try it from python like this
out, inn, err = _.get_crminstan ce(path, _.classify_prog ram)
t = '%s\n%s\n%s\n' % (_.START, text, _.STOP)
logger.debug(t)
inn.write(t)
inn.flush()
#inn.close()
res = out.read().stri p()
e = err.read().stri p()
my program hangs. Uncommenting the inn.close() helps somewhat as then the
out.read() returns, but only after a minute or so. And I don't want to
close it anyway, because I want to use it for the next classification.
Any suggestions? I know that there are subtle differences between files and
tenminals, but I'm no unix expert, so I'm somewtaht lost.

Try using the 'bufsize' optional argument in the call to popen2. Set it
to 0 to disable all buffering, if you are writing in large chunks (e.g.
calling inn.write(bigst ring)).

That didn't work - now I'm using pexpect, which simulates a tty.

Hi
I was given an exstremly useful answer to a problem that I had in
windows. I'm relativly new with python, but find it exstremly useful.
I'm creating a script to run test files and record output, the script
already works on win32 and I've made a telnet procedure which works
quite well when you want to do the testing on one of the many unix
boxes (but its very slow). What I want to do now is run the script on

This could possibly be a bug, but I don't understand it fully
so I'm posting here first. Searching the list told me other
people are having this problem too.
I have created a class which inherits popen2.Popen3.
The problem is that popen2.Popen3 does not define a __del__
method to handle proper closing of the pipes or destruction of
the process. So I created one in my class:

I am running an external command and I need to know a) when it is done
and b) what it wrote to both stdout and stderr. After a little
searching, I found the popen2 module and used the Popen3 class. I'm
having trouble with it hanging, though.
Here is a very well put (by someone else) posting that describes some
background:

I'm trying to read standard out in a process started with popen2
in a non-blocking way. (Other good ways of doing this than the
one I tried are appreciated.)
I've tried to dumb down my code to see what happens, and
socket.poll seems to behave very strangely. I've tried to
use the .poll method for the poll object with and without
a timeout, but in either case, the output randomly switches
between on of the versions below. It runs fast,...

How do I automatically redirect stdout and stderr when using os.popen2
to start a long running process. If the process prints a lot of stuff
to stdout it will eventually stop because it runs out of buffer space.
Once I start reading the stdout file returned by os.popen2 then the
process resumes. I know that I could just specify > /dev/null when
starting the process but I'd like to know if there is a way to start a
process using os.popen2...
