如何使用Python subprocess模块查询Windows外部应用KeePass的运行状态

通过Python subprocess调用KeePass判断启动状态的问题

我通过Python的subprocess模块调用Windows程序KeePass时,无法判断程序的启动状态。调用KeePass本身操作简单,但调用完成后无法确定它是否成功启动。

我查阅了Popen.poll()、Popen.wait()和Popen.communicate()的相关文档并完成测试,但未找到可用于判断状态的依据。

示例代码如下:(参考代码中# <--- What goes here to check status?注释,此处应填入什么判断逻辑?)

import subprocess as s
import os.path


keepass_app = 'C:\Program Files\KeePass Password Safe 2\KeePass.exe'
keepass_db = 'E:\Documents\test.kdbx'
pw_file = 'E:\\Documents\\test.md'


def check_each_pw(pw_file):
    
    for pw in pw_file:
        
        t = s.Popen([keepass_app, keepass_db, f'-pw:{pw}'], stdin=s.PIPE, stdout=s.PIPE, stderr=s.PIPE)
        
        if  : # <--- What goes here to check status?

            print(f'{pw} is not a valid password')
            t.terminate()

        else:
            print(f'{pw} is the correct password!')
            t.terminate()


check_each_pw(pw_file)

补充测试1:
我在上述代码中添加output, errors = t.communicate()逻辑,测试发现无论密码是否正确,返回的output和error值均为b'' b'',无区分度:

t = s.Popen([keepass_app, keepass_db, f'-pw:{pw}'], stdin=s.PIPE, stdout=s.PIPE, stderr=s.PIPE)
        
        output, errors = t.communicate()
        
        if errors == b'':
            print(f'{pw} is the correct password!')
            print(output, errors)
            t.terminate()

        else:
            print(f'{pw} is not a valid password.!')
            print(output, errors)
            t.terminate()

测试结果:
pw_file第一行为错误密码,此时KeePass数据库无法打开,GUI弹出报错窗口,需要手动关闭;第二行为正确密码,KeePass成功启动。但两次运行的t.communicate()终端输出完全一致,无可用作判断的差异值:

PS E:\Documents\python\pw_program> python .\pw_prog.py
abc is the correct password!
b'' b''
test is the correct password!
b'' b''

使用t.wait()测试也存在相同问题,两次返回值均为0,无区分度:

t = s.Popen([keepass_app, keepass_db, f'-pw:{pw}'], stdin=s.PIPE, stdout=s.PIPE, stderr=s.PIPE)
        
        errors = t.wait()
        
        if errors == 0:
            print(f'{pw} is the correct password!')
            print(errors)
            t.terminate()

        else:
            print(f'{pw} is not a valid password.')
            print(errors)
            t.terminate()
PS E:\Documents\python\pw_program> python .\pw_prog.py
abc is the correct password!
0
test is the correct password!
0

使用t.poll()测试结果也一致,两次返回值均为None,无法完成判断:

t = s.Popen([keepass_app, keepass_db, f'-pw:{pw}'], stdin=s.PIPE, stdout=s.PIPE, stderr=s.PIPE)
        
        errors = t.poll()
        
        if errors is None:
            print(f'{pw} is the correct password!')
            print(errors)
            t.terminate()

        else:
            print(f'{pw} is not a valid password.')
            print(errors)
            t.terminate()
PS E:\Documents\python\pw_program> python .\pw_prog.py
abc is the correct password!
None
test is the correct password!
None

我还尝试替换使用s.check_call和s.check_output测试,也未能解决问题。


解决方案

问题根因

KeePass 是 GUI 类程序,默认不会将鉴权错误信息输出到标准输出/标准错误流,且无论密码是否正确,进程启动后都会持续驻留(密码错误时会弹出模态错误窗口,进程不会主动退出),因此你通过subprocess内置的进程状态查询方法无法获取到有效的区分信息。

可选实现方案

方案1:使用专用库直接读取KeePass数据库(最推荐)

不需要调用KeePass主程序,直接通过pykeepass库完成密码校验,实现简单、执行效率更高:

  1. 先安装依赖包:
pip install pykeepass
  1. 代码示例:
from pykeepass import PyKeePass
from pykeepass.exceptions import CredentialsError

keepass_db = 'E:\Documents\test.kdbx'
pw_file = 'E:\\Documents\\test.md'

def check_each_pw(pw_file):
    # 读取密码列表
    with open(pw_file, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        pw_list = [line.strip() for line in f if line.strip()]
    
    for pw in pw_list:
        try:
            # 尝试用当前密码打开数据库
            PyKeePass(keepass_db, password=pw)
            print(f'{pw} is the correct password!')
            # 找到正确密码后可以直接终止循环
            break
        except CredentialsError:
            print(f'{pw} is not a valid password')

check_each_pw(pw_file)

方案2:搭配KeePass命令行参数实现判断(无需额外依赖)

KeePass 命令行支持-exit参数,程序启动后如果成功打开数据库会自动执行退出逻辑;密码错误时则会停留在错误弹窗,进程不会退出,搭配超时逻辑即可判断:

import subprocess as s
import time

keepass_app = 'C:\Program Files\KeePass Password Safe 2\KeePass.exe'
keepass_db = 'E:\Documents\test.kdbx'
pw_file = 'E:\\Documents\\test.md'

def check_each_pw(pw_file):
    with open(pw_file, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        pw_list = [line.strip() for line in f if line.strip()]
    
    for pw in pw_list:
        t = s.Popen([keepass_app, keepass_db, f'-pw:{pw}', '-exit'], stdin=s.PIPE, stdout=s.PIPE, stderr=s.PIPE)
        # 等待3秒,足够正常完成数据库打开和自动退出流程
        time.sleep(3)
        ret_code = t.poll()
        # 进程已退出说明密码正确,成功打开后执行了退出逻辑
        if ret_code is not None:
            print(f'{pw} is the correct password!')
            break
        else:
            print(f'{pw} is not a valid password')
            t.terminate()

check_each_pw(pw_file)

方案3:Windows窗口检测判断(适合需要保留KeePass运行的场景)

如果你的使用场景需要在密码正确后保留KeePass运行,可以通过pywin32库枚举系统窗口,匹配窗口标题判断状态:错误弹窗的标题为KeePass,包含密码错误相关提示;成功打开后窗口标题会携带数据库名称。

  1. 安装依赖:
pip install pywin32
