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 |
