Hello,
I'm launching a script as follows:
<code>
p = subprocess.Pope n(['./p.py', 'aa'])
p.wait()
</code>
If p.py writes to sys.stdout, then it is shown on the console.
Looking at the console, then, it is hard to distinguish the output of
p.py from that of the script launching it. I'd like to do it so the
output looks like this:
<output>
output of launcher
p: output of launchee
p: more output of launchee
more output of launcher
</output>
i.e., that each output line of p.py will be formatted so that it is
preceded by 'p:'.
How should this be done, then? Should I write a file class, and pass
on object like so:
<code>
custom_f = custom_file(sys .stdout, line_prefix = 'p')
p = subprocess.Pope n(['./p.py', 'aa'], stdout = custom_f)
p.wait()
</code>
or is a different option easier? Are there any links for writing
custom file classes?
Thanks & Bye,
TD

Why can't you just do?
print "<output>"
p = subprocess.Pope n(...)
p.wait()
print "</output>"
? If you wait for the subprocess to terminate anyway..
Another way would be to use the p.communicate()-call to get the child's
output, and print that to stdout yourself, pre/postfixing it as needed.

You seem to be missing the fact that ./py is run in a different process.
The "sys.stdout " that p.py uses is different from that in the program
calling Popen. In fact, it could be using a different Python. The
situation is really similar to
p = subprocess.Pope n([<basic program>, 'aa'])
in that you have no way to "muck with the guts" of the subprocess, you
can only post-process its output.

Hello,
Thanks Diez & Scott for your replies.
The subprocess.Pope n documentation states, concerning the stding,
stdout, stderr, arguments, that:
<quote>
stdin, stdout and stderr specify the executed programs' standard
input, standard output and standard error file handles, respectively.
Valid values are PIPE, an existing file descriptor (a positive
integer), an existing file object, and None. PIPE indicates that a new
pipe to the child should be created. With None, no redirection will
occur; the child's file handles will be inherited from the parent.
Additionally, stderr can be STDOUT, which indicates that the stderr
data from the applications should be captured into the same file
handle as for stdout.
</quote>
so, it seems to me that if I would know how to write a file object,
then I could write one that prefixes each line, and that would be
fine, no? I don't see how this would necessitate waiting for p.py's
termination, or matter that it is a different process. I just don't
know how to create a file object.
Thanks & Bye,

Duck typing to the rescue: Here's a simple file object for writing:
class MyFunkyOutput(o bject):
def write(self, sometext):
print repr(sometext)
def close(self):
pass
outputter = MyFunkyOutput()
print >>outputter, 1,'a', 43 th********@gmai l.com wrote:

It was an astute observation that you could provide your own "file-like
object" as the output for the subprocess. However, you may find that due
to buffering effects the subprocess's output doesn't get completely
intermingled with the calling process's output.
Although you can specify "unbuffered ", which is the default for
subprocess.pope n, I don't believe this guarantees that the subprocess
itself won't perform buffering. Others may know better.

Steve

Hi. I wondered if anyone knew the rationale behind the naming of the
Popen class in the subprocess module. Popen sounds like the a suitable
name for a function that created a subprocess, but the object itself is
a subprocess, not a "popen". It seems that it would be more accurate to
just name the class Subprocess, can anyone explain why this is not the
case?
Thank you.
