There may be more pythonic solution than what I suggest here but this is what I have done when I needed similar functionality. Basically run your command in the background and redirect its stdout/err to a temp file. You may run the command either in the background or in a separate thread. You can then run the command "tail --retry -- pid=<pid> -n+0 -F <output_file>" and grab the output. The tail command exits once the real command is done.
