Thanks! It worked!

If you just removed the .communicate() call then you're not waiting for the process to exit, or collection its output. Don't attach stdout or stderr to pipes if you aren't going to collect them. If you attach them to pipes and don't read them then the pipes can fill, stalling the app.
