Kitchen includes the python-2.7 version of subprocess which has a new
function, :func:`~kitchen.pycompat27.subprocess.check_output`. When
you import :mod:`pycompat24.subprocess` you will be getting the
python-2.7 version of subprocess rather than the 2.4 version (where
subprocess first appeared). This choice was made so that we can
concentrate our efforts on keeping the single version of subprocess up
to date rather than working on a 2.4 version that very few people
would need specifically.
