/usr/bin/find /non/existent/path | /usr/bin/wc -l => c.out = 2 (should be 0)

[ghost]

/usr/bin/find /non/existent/path | /usr/bin/wc -l
linux command line return: 0 (correct)
delegator c.out = 2 (incorrect)

As per the above, if I run this on the linux command line, I get 0 (correct).
But when I pass this through delegator, I get 2.

path = '/non/existent/path'
the_command = f'/usr/bin/find {path} | /usr/bin/wc -l'
c = delegator.chain(the_command)
output = (c.out).rstrip()
print(output)
2

and for a path that exists, that returns 1900 on the linux command line, delegator returns 1901.
