This is a backport of the Python 3.2 subprocess module for use on Python versions 2.4 through 2.7.

It includes many important bug fixes including a C extension module used internally to handle the code path between fork() and exec(). This improves the reliability when an application is using threads.

Documentation can be found at http://docs.python.org/3.2/library/subprocess.html.

Tested using: Python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.

Think you've found an issue? Please try to reproduce it using Python 3.2 and file it using http://bugs.python.org/. Work will be done upstream and backported to this project.
