I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do here, but strace
produces its output on Standard Error (aka "stderr"). You can simply
redirect that to a file. That's the normal strace program. You might
be running something completely different, since you're running
"./strace"; but I would suggest that it probably uses either stderr or
stdout ("Standard Output"), and you could redirect either or both. Try
this, at the terminal (no Python involved):

./strace -c client >client_out 2>client_err

Then press Ctrl-C, and see which of the files has the output. Based on
that, you could configure subprocess.Popen to send the appropriate
stream to a file.
