I believe ActiveState's Trent Mick has released something along these lines. Does your proposed API match theirs?

So, the chances of getting our modules API-compatible are very small.
I really don't want to get into a religious war about the relative benefits of the two modules (I don't know Peter's well enough to comment), but I think it would be nice for users if there weren't two modules with the same goal, different interfaces and the same _name_. I understand from Trent that Twisted has started to use his process.py, so having another process.py in the stdlib at some point would cause at least some users pain. --david
