Roslaunch with python code sometimes won't run

I use the code below to launch darknet ros 3d node, but sometimes it won't run the node. Does the problem rely on the darknet_ros_3d launch file or the python code ?

import subprocess

def run_roslaunch_camera(package_name, launch_file):
    command = ['roslaunch', package_name, launch_file]
    process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

run_roslaunch_camera('darknet_ros_3d', 'ros_3d_left_launch_2.launch')

The code above only shows the launch part, not the whole python code, if the rest of the code has something to do with the problem, I will provide it.

Both python2 and python3 Popen have a well-known issue with deadlock when stdout=subprocess.PIPE is used. Search for the second instance of word deadlock on this page:

I add popen.communicate() but it won't continue the program until it is terminated. Any solution for this?
