Add a 'timeout' argument to subprocess.Popen. If the timeout expires before the subprocess exits, the wait method and the communicate method will raise a subprocess.TimeoutExpired exception. When used with communicate, it is possible to catch the exception, kill the process, and retry the communicate and receive any output written to stdout or stderr.
