Since the # prompt would go to stdout you won't see it, just press return # to continue or Ctrl-D to stop. import sys import subprocess from subprocess import PIPE # A list of strings that are not really counters, just # name tags that are output by pmccontrol -L notcounter = ["IAF", "IAP", "TSC", "UNC", "UCF"] def main(): from optparse import OptionParser parser = OptionParser() parser.add_option("-p", "--program", dest="program", help="program to execute") parser.add_option("-w", "--wait", action="store_true", dest="wait", default=True, help="wait after each execution") (options, args) = parser.parse_args() p = subprocess.Popen(["pmccontrol", "-L"], stdout=PIPE) counters = p.communicate()[0] if len(counters) <= 0: print "no counters found" sys.exit() for counter in counters.split(): if counter in notcounter: continue p = subprocess.Popen(["pmcstat", "-p", counter, options.program], stdout=PIPE) result = p.communicate()[0] print result if (options.wait == True): try: value = raw_input("next?") except EOFError: sys.exit() # The canonical way to make a python module into a script. # Remove if unnecessary. if __name__ == "__main__": main()
