os.popen() and pipes module doesn't have encoding parameter. They use the default (locale) encoding implicitly.

As PEP-597, subprocess module won't emit EncodingWarning for PIPEs in Python 3.10.
Like that, we should just add encoding=None parameter but don't emit EncodingWarning.

pipe is deprecated by PEP 594.
