This is a backport of the Python 3 subprocess module for use on Python 2. This
code has not been tested on Windows or other non-POSIX platforms.
subprocess32 includes many important reliability bug fixes relevant on POSIX
platforms. The most important of which is a C extension module used internally
to handle the code path between fork() and exec(). This module is reliable when
an application is using threads.

Remove most expired ports that depend on Python 2.7:
Exceptions are:
- mail/mailman, our listservers still use it
- www/chromium, solely because of popular demand,
upstream is (slowly) working on porting it to Python 3
- ports that have actual patches for Python 3 against
them (Cinnamon and a few unrelated other ports)
- llvm70 and qt5-webengine because they seem to have a lot
of dependencies which need further analysis
- sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve because bhyve seems to use them
- python2 and python27 themselves
I'm sure there will be complaints, but the nice thing about
a version control system is that we can revert and adjust things.

Add devel/py-subprocess32, Backport of the subprocess module from Python 3.2 &
3.3
This is a backport of the subprocess standard library module
from Python 3.2 & 3.3 for use on Python 2. It includes bugfixes
and some new features. On POSIX systems it is guaranteed to
be reliable when used in threaded applications. It includes
timeout support from Python 3.3 but otherwise matches 3.2's API.
It has not been tested on Windows.
