I'm creating a task with subprocess.Popen() in Linux but if the task does not end by itself then task.kill does not kill it.

Is there a way of forcing task to end?

Right now my code looks like this:

task = subprocess.Popen(
        final_list_subprocess, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

try:
    result, errs = task.communicate(timeout=5)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
    task.kill()
except:
    task.kill()```
