python unicode实现（使用外部程序：cygnative plink ssh rsync）

Question

I have a backup applications in python that needs to work on Windows. It needs UTF compatibility (to be able to backup directories that contain UTF characters like italian accents). The problem is it uses external programs (plink, cygwin, ssh and rsync) and I can't get them working. The prototype is 32 lines long, please take a look:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import subprocess

def safestr(obj, encoding='utf-8'):
    r"""Converts any given object to utf-8 encoded string.

        >>> safestr('hello')
        'hello'
        >>> safestr(u'\u1234')
        '\xe1\x88\xb4'
        >>> safestr(2)
        '2'
    """
    if isinstance(obj, unicode):
        return obj.encode("utf-8")
    elif isinstance(obj, str):
        return obj.encode
    else:
        return str(obj)

def execute(command):
    pipe = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    out, errs = pipe.communicate()
    retcode = pipe.poll()

    print "OUT: " + repr(out)
    print "ERRS: " + repr(errs)
    print "RET: " + str(retcode)


command = u'rsync --stats -az --numeric-ids --delete --blocking-io --modify-window=2 --no-group --chmod=u=rwX,g=,o=  -e \'cygnative plink -ssh -2 -batch  -pw test \' "/cygdrive/c/κόσμε" vaidab@192.168.1.86:/volatile/backup/vaidab/2010-03-03.15_41_56/ --link-dest=../2010-03-03.15_00_57'.encode('utf-8')
execute(command)

Still doesn't work with nosklo's version, check the result:

python prototype_unicode_new.py 'rsync.exe --stats -az --numeric-ids --delete --blocking-io --modify-window=2 -- no-group --chmod=u=rwX,g=,o= -e "cygnative plink -ssh -2 -batch -pw test" /cygdr ive/c/\\xce\\xba\\xcf\\x8c\\xcf\\x83\\xce\\xbc\\xce\\xb5 vaidab@192.168.1.86:/volatile/bac kup/vaidab/2010-03-03.15_41_56/'

Answer 1

• Don't use shell=True . EVER . It needlessy invokes a shell to call your program.
• Pass the parameters as a list instead of a string.

This example should work, provided the parameters are right and the rsync.exe is in current folder (or PATH ):

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import subprocess

def execute(command):
    pipe = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
    out, errs = pipe.communicate()
    retcode = pipe.poll()

    print "OUT: " + repr(out)
    print "ERRS: " + repr(errs)
    print "RET: " + str(retcode)
    return out


command = ['rsync.exe', '--stats', '-az', '--numeric-ids', '--delete', 
           '--blocking-io', '--modify-window=2', '--no-group', 
           '--chmod=u=rwX,g=,o=', '-e', 
           'cygnative plink -ssh -2 -batch -pw test', 
           u'/cygdrive/c/κόσμε'.encode('utf-8'), 
           'vaidab@192.168.1.86:/volatile/backup/vaidab/2010-03-03.15_41_56/', 
           '--link-dest=../2010-03-03.15_00_57']

execute(command)

Answer 2

A piece of code that passeth all understanding:

if isinstance(obj, unicode):
    return obj.encode("utf-8")
elif isinstance(obj, str):
    return obj.encode
    # the above is returning a METHOD ***************************
else:
    return str(obj)

What's the point of doctests if you don't run them?
