Absent any further feedback, I think I'm done with the changes to the 2.7 subprocess docs. I'll let them sit for a few days, then do the forward port to 3.2 and default.
There are a couple of additional changes I'll add to the 3.x versions:
- mention redirecting to DEVNULL as a way of suppressing output when using call() and check_call()
- mention the UTF-8 assumption involved in using the universal newlines mode for pipes in 3.x (i.e. the stuff I mistakenly checked in to 2.7 and then reverted)
