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.
