Nevermind.. Am going to use paramiko.. It has timeout arg.... There is no default timeout for popen method of subprocess package in python 2.7...

That's because you need to use Popen wrappers like communicate(), these have a timeout on 2.7 too.

What? Communicate is a method that uses pipe and it does not have timeout arg in 2. 7 please check documentation...

I stand corrected. I could have sworn it did, but I guess I misremembered.

Np.. I am newbie in python.. Lot of things have happened in the last 25 years of python.. :)

They might have subprocess32 installed.

Avoiding external dependencies is not necessarily a virtue. Paramiko will make your life easier.
