Running a GNU parallel command using python subprocess

Getting rid of the apostrophe in subprocess.Popen to move files
My script generates multiple files that contain random names based on the info it extracts. I created this test to try and move all new files created while running into a new directory named after the file being ran.

How to prevent Docker from messing with subprocess output order? (MCVE included)
Consider this issue.py file: Executing python issue.py manually yields what I expect: However, if I execute this inside a Docker container, something weird happens: How can I fix this, to make Docker respect the correct output order? Notes: This problem also happens with stderr, although the above MCVE does not show it. The MCVE uses the python image directly but
