Reid Kleckner <r...@mit.edu> added the comment:

I don't imagine this is going into 2.7.>0 at this point, so I ported the patch 
to py3k.  I also added support to check_output for the timeout parameter and 
added docs for all of the methods/functions that now take a timeout in the 
module.

The communicate docs include the pattern of:
try:
    outs, errs = p.communicate(timeout=15)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
    p.kill()
    outs, errs = p.communicate()

And check_output uses it.
