This package provides a tee() function that creates a pipe spawning a background thread to read and write to multiple destinations in real-time, plus a Popen subclass that integrates cleanly with the tee primitive.\n\nYou pass tee() any combination of PIPE, DEVNULL, file objects, or file descriptors as destinations. The library handles the threading and I/O multiplexing, so you can simultaneously capture output, print to the terminal, and log to files\u2014all from a single subprocess invocation. It works with the standard subprocess.run(), call(), check_call(), and check_output() functions via drop-in replacements, or directly with the enhanced Popen class.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package solves a genuine subprocess limitation with a clean, composable API, has no dependencies, low install friction, and is actively maintained. The only caveat is verifying the actual license before use\u2014the description mentions MIT but the fact sheet marks it unclear."},"id":"subprocess-multitee","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/subprocess-multitee","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/subprocess-multitee.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/subprocess-multitee/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"subprocess-multitee","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A small `tee` function for splitting stdout/stderr in subprocess, and a `subprocess.Popen` convenience wrapper"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":88501,"position":13724,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
