But subprocess, the Python 2.4 version, will *never* use it, because _subprocess is always available (isn't this now even a builtin module, in python24.dll?).
Yes, it is. I haven't had time to read the PEP, but I assumed some "backward compatibility" constraint is at work here too, since, e.g., subprocess.py has try: False except NameError: False = 0 True = 1 and that doesn't make sense for 2.4 either.
