Hello to everyone! I am making a program that will be a GTK+ frontend to

ffmpeg. Naturally, one of the main functions is parsing ffmpeg's output.

It's pretty simple when I, for example, retrieve information about a file

(the program finishes and I read the output). But it also needs to parse

working ffmpeg's output (in order to retrieve the percentage, remaining

time, etc.). So, actually what I do is Popen ffmpeg, and connect to its

stdout. And as stdout is represented by a file object, it needs to be

read(). The problem is that read() reads until EOF is reached, which

doesn't exist while the program is running (the same goes with

communicate()).

So my question is: is there a way to retrieve the stdout without waiting

the program to finish?




You don't have to read the complete output at once - you may process it line by line, I presume. I'd use a second thread to read the pipe and put the lines onto a Queue object; the main thread gets lines from the Queue when available.

Thanks, Gabriel, but I resolved that problem in another way. thrashold in irc.freenode.net gave me the solution.
What i do now is:

p = Popen(["cmd","arg"],stdout=PIPE,stderr=STDOUT)
fcntl.fcntl(p.stdout.fileno(), fcntl.F_SETFL, os.O_NONBLOCK)
p.stdout.read()

And in that way p.stdout.read() doesn't wait the program to finish, but gives me instant response. But anyway, thanks! =)
