Versatile utility function to run external processes


* Free software: BSD license
* Documentation: https://procrunner.readthedocs.io.


Features
--------

* runs an external process and waits for it to finish
* does not deadlock, no matter the process stdout/stderr output behaviour
* returns the exit code, stdout, stderr (separately), and the total process
  runtime as a dictionary
* process can run in a custom environment, either as a modification of
  the current environment or in a new environment from scratch
* stdin can be fed to the process, the returned dictionary contains
  information how much was read by the process
* stdout and stderr is printed by default, can be disabled
* stdout and stderr can be passed to any arbitrary function for
  live processing
* optionally enforces a time limit on the process

History
=======

0.5.1 (2018-04-27)
------------------

* Fix Win32API dependency installation on Windows.

0.5.0 (2018-04-26)
------------------

* New keyword 'win32resolve' which only takes effect on Windows and is enabled
  by default. This causes procrunner to call the Win32 API FindExecutable()
  function to try and lookup non-.exe files with the corresponding name. This
  means .bat/.cmd/etc.. files can now be run without explicitly specifying
  their extension. Only supported on Python 2.7 and 3.5+.

0.4.0 (2018-04-23)
------------------

* Python 2.7 support on Windows. Python3 not yet supported on Windows.

0.3.0 (2018-04-17)
------------------

* run_process() renamed to run()
* Python3 compatibility fixes

0.2.0 (2018-03-12)
------------------

* Procrunner is now Python3 3.3-3.6 compatible.

0.1.0 (2018-03-12)
------------------

* First release on PyPI.
