Process is a high-level wrapper that allows communicating with subprocesses and watching for their completion. Interacting with Subprocessesīoth create_subprocess_exec() and create_subprocess_shell() functions return instances of the Process class. It indicates that the special file os.devnull will be used for the corresponding subprocess stream. Special value that can be used as the stdin, stdout or stderr argument to process creation functions. Special value that can be used as the stderr argument and indicates that standard error should be redirected into standard output. If PIPE is passed to stdout or stderr arguments, the Process.stdout and Process.stderr attributes will point to StreamReader instances. If PIPE is passed to stdin argument, the Process.stdin attribute will point to a StreamWriter instance.
Constants Ĭan be passed to the stdin, stdout or stderr parameters. See the documentation of loop.subprocess_exec() for other parameters.Īsyncio also has the following low-level APIs to work with subprocesses: loop.subprocess_exec(), loop.subprocess_shell(), nnect_read_pipe(), nnect_write_pipe(), as well as the Subprocess Transports and Subprocess Protocols. The limit argument sets the buffer limit for StreamReader wrappers for Process.stdout and Process.stderr (if subprocess.PIPE is passed to stdout and stderr arguments). Creating Subprocesses coroutine asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(program, *args, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, loop=None, limit=None, **kwds) It is indeed trivial to modify the above example to run several commands simultaneously: async def main(): Print(f'')īecause all asyncio subprocess functions are asynchronous and asyncio provides many tools to work with such functions, it is easy to execute and monitor multiple subprocesses in parallel.
Proc = await asyncio.create_subprocess_shell( Here’s an example of how asyncio can run a shell command and obtain its result: import asyncio This section describes high-level async/await asyncio APIs to create and manage subprocesses.
