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 |
