<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 579028 by <a href="/recipes/users/4179778/">Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/parsing/">parsing</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/popen/">popen</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/subprocess/">subprocess</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/user_input/">user_input</a>). </p> <p>This allows for on-the-fly editing. Simply drop abused.py into your path, and ensure that -a is not set in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in /etc/portage/make.conf. Then whenver you are installing new packages, use abused in place of emerge (eg: abused multitail) you will be presented with a list of use flags that are used in this action, and a prompt for editing any of them, simply hit enter with no changes to fire off the build.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576387 by <a href="/recipes/users/1890175/">Pádraig Brady</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/group/">group</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/popen/">popen</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/subprocess/">subprocess</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unix/">unix</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>I have used this for ages to control child processes (and all their children). Some of the existing subprocess module was based on this, but I find this simpler for my uses at least.</p> <h4>Example:</h4> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>import subProcess process = subProcess.subProcess("your shell command") process.read() #timeout is optional handle(process.outdata, process.errdata) del(process) </code></pre>
