The program does not work the way I wanted it to. I want the output of the top 
command to be seen only by the python program. The program I made causes the 
top command to print its output to the terminal. Using subprocess.Popen() with 
stdout=subprocess.PIPE does prevent the top command's output from being printed 
to the terminal. Now I need a way to actually work with that output. Would you 
know a way to do this?

I can't use the communicate() function because it blocks until the top command 
quits.
