Running JDK self extracting .bin file stuck with python subprocess

Question

I trying to run JDK self extracting .bin file via python subprocess,

Here is the code

proc = subprocess.Popen('./jdk-6u45-linux-i586.bin', cwd=installdir,shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

it runs and stuck , output showing below:

Install jdk-6u45-linux-i586.bin ...
Unpacking...

the bin file is able to run independently in terminal

I turn on the shell debug by

proc = subprocess.Popen('sh -x ./jdk-6u45-linux-i586.bin', cwd=installdir,shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

output as below

Install jdk-6u45-linux-i586.bin ...
Unpacking...

+ PATH=/usr/bin:/bin

Checksumming...

+ umask 022

Extracting...

+ javahome=jdk1.6.0_45

I also capture the self extract script of bin file by

head -145 jdk-6u45-linux-i586.bin

From the script and debug log , I can see it just stuck at line 74 of extract script

echo "Extracting..."
./$outname

full script as below:

#!/bin/sh

Any idea about above issue , I guess some environment not pass into python , could not figure out what it is . as the bin can run directly ,but not through python subprocess

Answer 1

This thread actually answer the question:

Non-blocking read on a subprocess.PIPE in python

And it do solve my problem.

Thanks
