[docs] [issue7678] subprocess.Popen pipeline example code in the documentation is lacking

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

As a non-expert user of subprocess, calling close before communicate seems strange to me.  Does the example code with a bug work if close is called after communicate?

In the 3.2 docs, we could update the example to use a with statement, unless it is deemed a distraction for this simple introductory section.
