The URL I provided tells you exactly where to get it from: a CVS 
repository.  It has a setup.py, so you install it like you install 
anything else.. though you could just copy subprocess.py wherever it 
needs to go.  Alternatively you can get it from Python 2.4 CVS.

Yes it is a simple Python module with no dependencies (on win32 it 
requires a _subprocess extension).

Yes you can simply distribute the module in a directory alongside your 
other modules/packages.
