How do I get ‘real-time’ information back from a subprocess.Popen in python (2.5)

by

Update with code that appears not to work (on windows anyway)

class ThreadWorker(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, callable, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ThreadWorker, self).__init__()
        self.callable = callable
        self.args = args
        self.kwargs = kwargs
        self.setDaemon(True)

    def run(self):
        try:
            self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
        except wx.PyDeadObjectError:
            pass
        except Exception, e:
            print e



if __name__ == "__main__":
    import os
    from subprocess import Popen, PIPE

    def worker(pipe):
        while True:
            line = pipe.readline()
            if line == '': break
            else: print line

    proc = Popen("python subprocess_test.py", shell=True, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)

    stdout_worker = ThreadWorker(worker, proc.stdout)
    stderr_worker = ThreadWorker(worker, proc.stderr)
    stdout_worker.start()
    stderr_worker.start()
    while True: pass
