+- Issue #5673: Added a `timeout` keyword argument to subprocess.Popen.wait,
+  subprocess.Popen.communicated, subprocess.call, subprocess.check_call, and
+  subprocess.check_output.  If the blocking operation takes more than `timeout`
+  seconds, the `subprocess.TimeoutExpired` exception is raised.

 - Issue #11650: PyOS_StdioReadline() retries fgets() if it was interrupted
   (EINTR), for example if the program is stopped with CTRL+z on Mac OS X. Patch
