[New-bugs-announce] [issue7438] Allow to use a part of subprocess module during building Python

[Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis]

New submission from Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis <Arfrever.FTA at GMail.Com>:

It is sometimes useful to call subprocess.Popen() in setup.py of
Python. Currently it would fail, because subprocess module tries to
import some modules, which not always are used. I suggest to delay some
imports.
