[Python-projects] pylint bug report: 'epylint' fails on Python2.3

[A.T.Hofkamp]

Hello all,

I'd like to report a pylint bug.
While installing pylint, I noticed the 'epylint' executable. Thinking it has 
something to do with 'epydoc', I decided to run it with '--help'.
The script gave an error:

% python2.3 ~/python/bin/epylint
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/mnt/run/hat/python/bin/epylint", line 6, in ?
     from subprocess import *
ImportError: No module named subprocess

According to the Python Library Reference, subprocess was introduced with 
Python 2.4, so indeed, it should fail with Python 2.3.
However the pylint README states: "Pylint should be compatible with any python 
 >= 2.2."
