Subprocess from Python 2.7
--------------------------

The :mod:`subprocess` module included here is a direct import from
python-2.7's |stdlib|_.  You can access it via::

    >>> from kitchen.pycompat27 import subprocess

The motivation for including this module is that various API changing
improvements have been made to subprocess over time.  The following is a list
of the known changes to :mod:`subprocess` with the python version they were
introduced in:
