Description

Here if the process times out, it is not terminated (https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen.communicate).
Something like

    p = Popen(args, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, encoding='utf-8')
    try:
        stdout, stderr = p.communicate(example.source, timeout=10)
    except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
        p.kill()
        stdout, stderr = p.communicate()

could fix it.

Research direction

Start at pytest_examples/lint.py lines 54-55 and read the linked Popen.communicate timeout documentation. Reproduce or inspect the timeout path, then ensure the subprocess is terminated and its remaining output is collected after TimeoutExpired. Done means timed-out examples do not leave a running process.
