xonsh.procs.posix#

Interface for running subprocess-mode commands on posix systems.

class xonsh.procs.posix.PopenThread(*args, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, **kwargs)[source]#

A thread for running and managing subprocess. This allows reading from the stdin, stdout, and stderr streams in a non-blocking fashion.

This takes the same arguments and keyword arguments as regular Popen. This requires that the captured_stdout and captured_stderr attributes to be set following instantiation.

This constructor should always be called with keyword arguments. Arguments are:

group should be None; reserved for future extension when a ThreadGroup class is implemented.

target is the callable object to be invoked by the run() method. Defaults to None, meaning nothing is called.

name is the thread name. By default, a unique name is constructed of the form “Thread-N” where N is a small decimal number.

args is the argument tuple for the target invocation. Defaults to ().

kwargs is a dictionary of keyword arguments for the target invocation. Defaults to {}.

If a subclass overrides the constructor, it must make sure to invoke the base class constructor (Thread.__init__()) before doing anything else to the thread.

getName()#

Return a string used for identification purposes only.

This method is deprecated, use the name attribute instead.

isDaemon()#

Return whether this thread is a daemon.

This method is deprecated, use the daemon attribute instead.

is_alive()#

Return whether the thread is alive.

This method returns True just before the run() method starts until just after the run() method terminates. See also the module function enumerate().

join(timeout=None)#

Wait until the thread terminates.

This blocks the calling thread until the thread whose join() method is called terminates – either normally or through an unhandled exception or until the optional timeout occurs.

When the timeout argument is present and not None, it should be a floating point number specifying a timeout for the operation in seconds (or fractions thereof). As join() always returns None, you must call is_alive() after join() to decide whether a timeout happened – if the thread is still alive, the join() call timed out.

When the timeout argument is not present or None, the operation will block until the thread terminates.

A thread can be join()ed many times.

join() raises a RuntimeError if an attempt is made to join the current thread as that would cause a deadlock. It is also an error to join() a thread before it has been started and attempts to do so raises the same exception.

kill()[source]#

Dispatches to Popen.kill().

poll()[source]#

Dispatches to Popen.returncode.

run()[source]#

Runs the subprocess by performing a parallel read on stdin if allowed, and copying bytes from captured_stdout to stdout and bytes from captured_stderr to stderr.

send_signal(signal)[source]#

Dispatches to Popen.send_signal().

setDaemon(daemonic)#

Set whether this thread is a daemon.

This method is deprecated, use the .daemon property instead.

setName(name)#

Set the name string for this thread.

This method is deprecated, use the name attribute instead.

start()#

Start the thread’s activity.

It must be called at most once per thread object. It arranges for the object’s run() method to be invoked in a separate thread of control.

This method will raise a RuntimeError if called more than once on the same thread object.

terminate()[source]#

Dispatches to Popen.terminate().

wait(timeout=None)[source]#

Dispatches to Popen.wait(), but also does process cleanup such as joining this thread and replacing the original window size signal handler.

property daemon#

A boolean value indicating whether this thread is a daemon thread.

This must be set before start() is called, otherwise RuntimeError is raised. Its initial value is inherited from the creating thread; the main thread is not a daemon thread and therefore all threads created in the main thread default to daemon = False.

The entire Python program exits when only daemon threads are left.

property ident#

Thread identifier of this thread or None if it has not been started.

This is a nonzero integer. See the get_ident() function. Thread identifiers may be recycled when a thread exits and another thread is created. The identifier is available even after the thread has exited.

property name#

A string used for identification purposes only.

It has no semantics. Multiple threads may be given the same name. The initial name is set by the constructor.

property native_id#

Native integral thread ID of this thread, or None if it has not been started.

This is a non-negative integer. See the get_native_id() function. This represents the Thread ID as reported by the kernel.

property returncode#

Process return code.

property signal#

Process signal, or None.
