I would dup the file descriptor and close the original file. Then open
the file descriptor using io.open:

    >>> p = subprocess.Popen(['uname'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    >>> fd = os.dup(p.stdout.fileno())
    >>> fd
    4
    >>> p.stdout.close()
    >>> fout = io.open(fd, 'r')
    >>> fout
    <_io.TextIOWrapper name=4 encoding='UTF-8'>
    >>> fout.read()
