class IPython.frontend.process.pipedprocess.PipedProcess(command_string, out_callback, end_callback=None)

Bases: threading.Thread

Class that encapsulates process execution by using callbacks for stdout, stderr and stdin, and providing a reliable way of killing it.

__init__(command_string, out_callback, end_callback=None)

command_string: the command line executed to start the process.

out_callback: the python callable called on stdout/stderr.
