[ACCEPTED]-Redirecting FORTRAN (called via F2PY) output in Python-stdout
Accepted answer
The stdin and stdout fds are being inherited 1 by the C shared library.
from fortran_code import fortran_function
import os
print "will run fortran function!"
# open 2 fds
null_fds = [os.open(os.devnull, os.O_RDWR) for x in xrange(2)]
# save the current file descriptors to a tuple
save = os.dup(1), os.dup(2)
# put /dev/null fds on 1 and 2
os.dup2(null_fds[0], 1)
os.dup2(null_fds[1], 2)
# *** run the function ***
fortran_function()
# restore file descriptors so I can print the results
os.dup2(save[0], 1)
os.dup2(save[1], 2)
# close the temporary fds
os.close(null_fds[0])
os.close(null_fds[1])
print "done!"
Here's a context manager that I recently wrote and found 6 useful, because I was having a similar problem 5 with distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler.has_function while working on pymssql. I also used the 4 file descriptor approach but I used a context manager. Here's 3 what I came up with:
import contextlib
@contextlib.contextmanager
def stdchannel_redirected(stdchannel, dest_filename):
"""
A context manager to temporarily redirect stdout or stderr
e.g.:
with stdchannel_redirected(sys.stderr, os.devnull):
if compiler.has_function('clock_gettime', libraries=['rt']):
libraries.append('rt')
"""
try:
oldstdchannel = os.dup(stdchannel.fileno())
dest_file = open(dest_filename, 'w')
os.dup2(dest_file.fileno(), stdchannel.fileno())
yield
finally:
if oldstdchannel is not None:
os.dup2(oldstdchannel, stdchannel.fileno())
if dest_file is not None:
dest_file.close()
The context for why 2 I created this is at this blog post. Similar to yours 1 I think.
I use it like this in a setup.py:
with stdchannel_redirected(sys.stderr, os.devnull):
if compiler.has_function('clock_gettime', libraries=['rt']):
libraries.append('rt')
