For controlling an interactive program subprocess isn't the right
tool.  Subprocess only really does one way communication - it isn't
good at conversations.  I'd suggest pexpect but it doesn't work on
windows.

You appear to be doing stuff with csound.  There are several python
modules out there which interface with csound - did you investigate
those?
