Python 2.7 Compatibility¶

Subprocess from Python 2.7¶

The subprocess module included here is a direct import from python-2.7’s python standard library. 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 subprocess with the python version they were introduced in:

New API Feature	Ver
`subprocess.CalledProcessError`	2.5
`subprocess.check_call()`	2.5
`subprocess.check_output()`	2.7
`subprocess.Popen.send_signal()`	2.6
`subprocess.Popen.terminate()`	2.6
`subprocess.Popen.kill()`	2.6
