A backport of the subprocess module from Python 3 for use on 2.x.

Project description

This is a backport of the subprocess standard library module from Python 3.2 - 3.5 for use on Python 2.

It includes bugfixes and some new features. On POSIX systems it is guaranteed to be reliable when used in threaded applications. It includes timeout support from Python 3.3 and the run() API from 3.5 but otherwise matches 3.2’s API.

It has not been tested by the author on Windows.

On Python 3, it merely redirects the subprocess32 name to subprocess.
