https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.check_output

The code sample seems to have a misplaced closing round bracket. It should go after "stdout"

run(..., check=True, stdout=PIPE).stdout

I think the docs are correct. For example:

>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.run("ls", check=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout
<my files here>
>>> subprocess.check_output("ls")
<my files here>

Thank you, Dennis! I was wrong. Closing the ticket.
