New submission from Dean Sturtevant:
It would be helpful for the documentation for subprocess.communicate to
point out that when Popening a process, stdin=PIPE needs to be set if
the input parameter to communicate is to have any meaning. Similary,
stdout=PIPE and stderr=PIPE need to be set in order for the respective
component of the return value not to be None. That is, if that is indeed
correct (I observed this using Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006,
09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32)
