* Add a new asyncio.subprocess module
* Add new create_subprocess_exec() and create_subprocess_shell() functions
* The new asyncio.subprocess.SubprocessStreamProtocol creates stream readers
for stdout and stderr and a stream writer for stdin.
* The new asyncio.subprocess.Process class offers an API close to the
subprocess.Popen class:
- pid, returncode, stdin, stdout and stderr attributes
- communicate(), wait(), send_signal(), terminate() and kill() methods
* Remove STDIN (0), STDOUT (1) and STDERR (2) constants from base_subprocess
and unix_events, to not be confused with the symbols with the same name of
subprocess and asyncio.subprocess modules
* _ProactorBasePipeTransport.get_write_buffer_size() now counts also the size
of the pending write
* _ProactorBaseWritePipeTransport._loop_writing() may now pause the protocol if
the write buffer size is greater than the high water mark (64 KB by default)
Major changes:
- StreamReader.readexactly() now raises an IncompleteReadError if the
end of stream is reached before we received enough bytes, instead of
returning less bytes than requested.
- Unit tests use the main asyncio module instead of submodules like events
- _UnixWritePipeTransport now also supports character devices, as
_UnixReadPipeTransport. Patch written by Jonathan Slenders.
- Export more symbols: BaseEventLoop, BaseProactorEventLoop,
BaseSelectorEventLoop, Queue and Queue sublasses, Empty, Full
