[issue6189] subprocess module not compatible with python 2.5

[Israel Tsadok]

New submission from Israel Tsadok <itsadok at gmail.com>:

According to PEP 291, the subprocess module is supposed to be compatible 
with python 2.2 and up.

rev 60097 introduced the use of os.closerange(), which is new in python 
2.6.

Either PEP-291 needs to be revised, rev 60097 be reverted, or some sort of 
fallback mechanism needs to be added.
