+This is a backport of the subprocess standard library module from Python 3.2-3.5
+for use on Python 2.
+
+It includes bugfixes and some new features. On POSIX systems it is guaranteed to
+be reliable when used in threaded applications. It includes timeout support from
+Python 3.3 and the run() API from 3.5 but otherwise matches 3.2’s API.
