Yes, I saw in the documentation after I posted. It was pretty late. :/

I managed to get it working with a regular ping. I changed argv into a 
list, changed shell to False and added executable. I left the input 
string (as it was assigned to stdoutdata, but I didn't observe any 
newlines, so I will test again with a different string, now that I know 
it works.

Thank you for your patience.
