I am working on a script that reads data through a named pipe from another piece of software. I would like to read data only when available, and I was trying to use add_reader from asyncio.

我正在编写一个脚本,通过另一个软件的命名管道读取数据。我想只在可用时读取数据,我试图使用asyncio的add_reader。

I noticed that, on Linux, the reader I registered is called continuously after the pipe is closed. On macOS, this doesn't happen.

我注意到,在Linux上,我注册的阅读器在管道关闭后连续调用。在macOS上,这不会发生。

This puzzles me, because after the writing end of the pipe has hung up, I would not expect the reading end to be available for reading, especially because clearly there can be no data.

这让我感到很困惑,因为在管道写入结束后,我不希望读取端可以读取,特别是因为显然没有数据。

This script illustrates the problem:

此脚本说明了此问题:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os, asyncio, threading, time
NAMED_PIPE = 'write.pipe'

# Setup the named pipe
if os.path.exists(NAMED_PIPE):
    os.unlink(NAMED_PIPE)
os.mkfifo(NAMED_PIPE)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

def simulate_write():
    # Open the pipe for writing and write something into it.
    # This simulates another process
    print('waiting for opening pipe for writing')
    with open(NAMED_PIPE, 'w') as write_stream:
        print('writing pipe opened')
        time.sleep(1)
        print('writing some data')
        print('<some data>', file=write_stream)
        time.sleep(1)
    print('exiting simulated write')


async def open_pipe_for_reading():
    print('waiting for opening pipe for reading')
    # This needs to run asynchronously because open will
    # not reuturn until on the other end, someone tries
    # to write
    return open(NAMED_PIPE)

count = 0
def read_data_block(fd):
    global count
    count += 1
    print('reading data', fd.read())
    if count > 10:
        print('reached maximum number of calls')
        loop.remove_reader(fd.fileno())

# Spawn a thread that will simulate writing
threading.Thread(target=simulate_write).start()
# Get the result of open_pipe_for_reading
stream = loop.run_until_complete(open_pipe_for_reading())
print('reading pipe opened')
# Schedule the reader
loop.add_reader(stream.fileno(), read_data_block, stream)
try:
    loop.run_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass
finally:
    print('closing stream')
    stream.close()
print('removing pipe')
os.unlink(NAMED_PIPE)

On OSX, this is the behavior I observe:

在OSX上,这是我观察到的行为:

waiting for opening pipe for writing
waiting for opening pipe for reading
reading pipe opened
writing pipe opened
writing some data
exiting simulated write
reading data <some data>

^Cclosing stream
removing pipe

While on Linux:

在Linux上:

waiting for opening pipe for writing
waiting for opening pipe for reading
reading pipe opened
writing pipe opened
writing some data
exiting simulated write
reading data <some data>

reading data
reading data
reading data
reading data
reading data
reading data
reading data
reading data
reading data
reading data
reached maximum number of calls
^C<closing stream
removing pipe

So, why is a closed pipe available for reading although it has no data?

那么,为什么闭合管道可用于读取,尽管它没有数据?

Also, in my understanding, add_reader would trigger when the stream can be read from and there is some data to read; is this interpretation correct?

另外,根据我的理解,当可以读取流并且有一些数据需要读取时,add_reader会触发;这种解释是否正确?

In python reading an empty data is a sign for socket/pipe closing.

在python中读取空数据是套接字/管道关闭的标志。

data = fd.read()
if not data:
    return

Also please switch the pipe to non-blocking mode:

还请将管道切换到非阻塞模式:

os.set_blocking(fd, False)
