This because you can't predict which of the two output will block, either
merge the outpus with a popen4 or use communicate like below or use a
threaded version (much more complicated).

def run2(command):
import subprocess
run = subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
# Wait for the process to return
out, err = [ e.splitlines() for e in run.communicate() ]
return run.returncode, out, err
