r"""Subprocesses with accessible I/O streams

This module allows you to spawn processes, connect to their

input/output/error pipes, and obtain their return codes.

For a complete description of this module see the Python documentation.

Main API

========

run(...): Runs a command, waits for it to complete, then returns a

CompletedProcess instance.

Popen(...): A class for flexibly executing a command in a new process

Constants

---------

DEVNULL: Special value that indicates that os.devnull should be used

PIPE: Special value that indicates a pipe should be created

STDOUT: Special value that indicates that stderr should go to stdout

Older API

=========

call(...): Runs a command, waits for it to complete, then returns

the return code.

check_call(...): Same as call() but raises CalledProcessError()

if return code is not 0

check_output(...): Same as check_call() but returns the contents of

stdout instead of a return code

getoutput(...): Runs a command in the shell, waits for it to complete,

then returns the output

getstatusoutput(...): Runs a command in the shell, waits for it to complete,

then returns a (exitcode, output) tuple
