You're right. I just realized that I was running the program through
my Vim plug-in which would use the subprocess module to open the
process, wait for its termination and get the output. It seems that
multi-process program would act quite differently such that my Vim
plug-in had been halted without getting any error information, so I
was to falsely take it as a deadlock.

The thread in stackoverflow you referenced is great, now I'm trying to
fit the solution in my own program, thanks a lot!
