OK @glyph challenge accepted. Here is python programming talk.
I have a script that uses "with Popen(...,stdout=PIPE)" to run a program and roughly run grep. Now I'd like to add a timeout, but I don't want to buffer the output (because it is unbounded), so run is out. Currently I am running /usr/bin/timeout from python, but this is, uh, unpythonic.
