It handles the common pattern of starting a process, optionally waiting with a timeout, capturing stdout and stderr, and retrieving the return code\u2014all with a simpler API than subprocess.Popen or subprocess.run.\n\nThe package supports method chaining (e.g., `.start().sleep(1.5).stop()`), context managers for automatic cleanup, timeout handling, and unicode output. It explicitly does not support shell commands or pipes; commands must be passed as lists or strings that are split using shlex. Stdout and stderr are only available after the process has finished or been stopped.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a lightweight subprocess wrapper for simple command execution. The package is stable, has no dependencies, and installs with low friction. However, maintenance is dormant; if you require active support or compatibility with future Python versions, consider whether subprocess.run or a more actively maintained alternative better fits your risk tolerance."},"id":"easyprocess","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/easyprocess","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/easyprocess.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/easyprocess/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-01-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"EasyProcess","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Easy to use Python subprocess interface."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":969724,"position":4612,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1"}
