R. David Murray added the comment: IMO the statement should read "and return the stdout data". The point is that check_output calls Popen and accepts all its arguments except for stdout, which it handles itself and returns as the result. It would probably be good to then follow that up with something like "This will be bytes unless universal_newlines is set True".
