I looked it up: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-subprocess.html

Officially, you need at least Python 2.4.
However a back port exists (I remember installing something like that) at

Maybe it is of use to you.

Indeed, it is working correctly. It even finds out whether functions raise an 
exception unconditionally ("Assigning to function call which doesn't return").

Really amazing piece of software!!


(note sure whether "Assigning to" is a correct phrase here, how do you assign 
something to a call?).
