[issue9861] subprocess module changed exposed attributes

[Piotr Dobrogost]

Piotr Dobrogost added the comment:

The statement in comment http://bugs.python.org/issue9861#msg133051 seems to be wrong as changes between versions 2.5 and 2.6 are not security only fixes.
Changing visibility of module's public attributes should at least be documented thus closing this bug without pointing to such a documentation is not ok.
People do have problem with this as can be seen in the following questions:
"Cannot find STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW in python" (http://stackoverflow.com/q/5485668/95735)
"Module subprocess has no attribute 'STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW'" (http://stackoverflow.com/q/4703983/95735)
Remark to the answer to the "Cross-platform subprocess with hidden window" question (http://stackoverflow.com/a/3443174/95735)
