Run subprocesses asynchronously using the :mod:`subprocess` module.
.. note::
On Windows, the default event loop uses
:class:`selectors.SelectSelector` which only supports sockets. The
:class:`ProactorEventLoop` should be used instead.
.. note::
On Mac OS X older than Maverick (10.9), :class:`selectors.KqueueSelector`
does not support character devices like PTY, whereas it is used by the
default event loop. The :class:`SelectorEventLoop` can be used with
:class:`SelectSelector` to handle character devices.
