My understanding is the operation of the two are different:

Quote:
check_call() returns as soon as /bin/sh process exits, it does not wait for child processes to complete
check_output() waits until all output is read. When (and if) check_output inherits the stdin pipe then check_output() will wait until it exits, i.e., until the child process the inherited pipe. In other words it waits for the child process to end.

wait
wait(1) General Commands Manual wait(1)NAME
wait - await process completion
SYNOPSIS
[pid]
DESCRIPTION
If no argument is specified, waits until all processes (started with of the current shell have completed, and reports on abnormal termina-
tions. If a numeric argument pid is given and is the process ID of a background process, waits until that process has completed. Other-
wise, if pid is not a background process, exits without waiting for any processes to complete.
Because the system call must be executed in the parent process, the shell itself executes without creating a new process (see wait(2)).
Command-Line Arguments
supports the following command line arguments:
The unsigned decimal integer process
ID of a command, whose termination is to wait for.
WARNINGS
Some processes in a 2-or-more-stage pipeline may not be children of the shell, and thus cannot be waited for.
