[Python] - subprocess issue
So I have this basic script, see below

Code:
import subprocess
import shlex

command = "gcloud projects list"

subprocess.check_output(shlex.split(command))
subprocess.check_call(shlex.split(command))

The subprocess.check_call(shlex.split(command)) actually return what I expect. It returns the result of gcloud projects list. However subprocess.check_output doesn't, in fact it returns nothing.

Can explain this?

NAME

       runstat - collect statistics about execution of a process

SYNOPSYS

       runstat [ -h ]

       runstat [ -d ] [ -f pathname ] command [ args ]

DESCRIPTION

       runstat	tries to execute a command in a subprocess, and upon termination of the subprocess collects some statistics about that subprocess,

	      Debug mode; send log messages to standard error as well as to the system log.

       -f pathname

	      Specifies the pathname of the file to save the statistics to.  The default is to create a file in /tmp/cronutils-$USER with the name
	      of the command, and suffix ".stat".

       -h
