Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

delegator

✓ import delegator

✗ from delegator import run

direct function import may cause name collisions; import module and use delegator.run()

Basic usage: run non-blocking subprocesses with output capture and interactivity.

import delegator # Run a command and get output c = delegator.run('echo hello') print(c.out) # hello # Interactive command with timeout try: c = delegator.run('python', timeout=3) c.expect('>>>') c.writeline('print(1+1)') c.expect('2') print(c.after) except Exception as e: print(f"Error: {e}")

Known issues

deprecatedLibrary is no longer maintained. Consider using json, subprocess, or invoke instead.

fix

Migrate to subprocess.run() or invoke.

affects: all

gotchadelegator.run() returns a Command object immediately, not waiting for the process to finish. Access .block() or .out/.err to synchronize.

fix

Ensure you call .block() or access .out after the process completes.

affects: all

gotchaOn Windows, pexpect may not work; delegator may behave differently.

fix

Use on Unix-like systems or test thoroughly on Windows.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'delegator' has no attribute 'run'

Incorrect import: trying to import run directly or wrong module name.

fix

Install via pip install delegator-py, then use import delegator and delegator.run().

TypeError: run() got an unexpected keyword argument 'block'

delegator.run() does not have a block argument; it returns immediately.

fix

Do not pass block=True; instead call .block() on the returned Command object.
