[64-bit] subprocess.Popen raises error

Hi!

I was testing my addon on the latest Kodi 18 alpha. It works with Kodi 32-bit, but I have a problem with 64-bit version when I want to run an external program using subprocess.Popen (tested on 64-bit Windows 8). In default.py file in the 35th line subprocess.Popen('ping google.com', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE) raises an error.

I have narrowed the code to the following small default.py:

Code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import subprocess
import xbmc

if __name__ == '__main__':
    xbmc.log("----- Begin ----- ", level=xbmc.LOGERROR)
    result = subprocess.Popen('ping -n 3 google.com', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read()
    xbmc.log(str(result),          level=xbmc.LOGERROR)
    xbmc.log("------ End ------ ", level=xbmc.LOGERROR)

that raises this error when Kodi is run by a normal user:

Code:
EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.OSError'>
Error Contents: (13, 'Permission denied')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\iwis\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\script.service.ping-addon\default.py", line 9, in <module>
    result = subprocess.Popen('ping -n 3 google.com', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read()
  File "C:\Program Files\Kodi\system\python\Lib\subprocess.py", line 420, in __init__
    self.stdout = os.fdopen(c2pread, 'rb', bufsize)
OSError: (13, 'Permission denied')
-->End of Python script error report<--

or this error when Kodi is run by an administrator:

Code:
EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
- NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.OSError'>
Error Contents: (2, 'No such file or directory')
Traceback (most recent call last):

    result = subprocess.Popen('ping -n 3 google.com', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read()
  File "C:\Program Files\Kodi\system\python\Lib\subprocess.py", line 420, in __init__
    self.stdout = os.fdopen(c2pread, 'rb', bufsize)
OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory')
-->End of Python script error report<--

what is wrong with subprocess.Popen in 64-bit Kodi?
