I'm also wondering if patch 1071755 and 1071764 should go into release24-maint:
* 1071755 makes subprocess raise TypeError if Popen is called with a bufsize that is not an integer.
Since this isn't changing anything that's user facing (just making the error handling more explicit) this is suitable for the maint branch.
* 1071764 adds a new, small utility function.
Please read PEP 6. Maintenance branches are not the place for new features. For an example why, consult almost any code that requires Python 2.2 or later. Chances are you'll find, all over the place, code like: try: True, False except NameError: True, False = 1, 0
