Run interactive Bash with popen and a dedicated TTY Python

This is a solution to run an interactive command in subprocess. It uses pseudo-terminal to make stdout non-blocking(also some command needs a tty device, eg. bash). it uses select to handle input and ouput to the subprocess.

import os
import sys
import select
import termios
import tty
import pty
from subprocess import Popen

command = 'bash'
# command = 'docker run -it --rm centos /bin/bash'.split()

# save original tty setting then set it to raw mode
old_tty = termios.tcgetattr(sys.stdin)
tty.setraw(sys.stdin.fileno())

# open pseudo-terminal to interact with subprocess
master_fd, slave_fd = pty.openpty()


try:
    # use os.setsid() make it run in a new process group, or bash job control will not be enabled
    p = Popen(command,
              preexec_fn=os.setsid,
              stdin=slave_fd,
              stdout=slave_fd,
              stderr=slave_fd,
              universal_newlines=True)

    while p.poll() is None:
        r, w, e = select.select([sys.stdin, master_fd], [], [])
        if sys.stdin in r:
            d = os.read(sys.stdin.fileno(), 10240)
            os.write(master_fd, d)
        elif master_fd in r:
            o = os.read(master_fd, 10240)
            if o:
                os.write(sys.stdout.fileno(), o)
finally:
    # restore tty settings back
    termios.tcsetattr(sys.stdin, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_tty)
