Martin Panter added the comment: . Isn’t your use of “cmd” similar enough to shell=True? I.e. isn’t that a “cmd” parent process spawning a “waitfor” child? If your 4 s “subprocess.run” call times out, does it kill the “waitfor” process, or leave it running?
Could the “waitfor” process write to stdout or stderr, and should that be captured by your 20 s “communicate” call? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31447> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
