Bo Bayles ce0f33d045 bpo-32102 Add "capture_output=True" to subprocess.run (GH-5149)
Add "capture_output=True" option to subprocess.run, this is equivalent to
setting stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE but is much more readable.

Segev Finer b2a6083eb0 bpo-19764: Implemented support for subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True) on Windows (#1218)
Even though Python marks any handles it opens as non-inheritable there
is still a race when using `subprocess.Popen` since creating a process
with redirected stdio requires temporarily creating inheritable handles.
By implementing support for `subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True)` we fix
this race.

In order to implement this we use PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
which is available since Windows Vista. Which allows to pass an explicit
list of handles to inherit when creating a process.

This commit also adds `STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList["handle_list"]`
which can be used to control PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
directly.

andyclegg 7fed7bd8bb bpo-31756: subprocess.run should alias universal_newlines to text (#4049)
Improve human friendliness of the Popen API: Add text=False as a
keyword-only argument to subprocess.Popen along with a Popen
attribute .text_mode and set this based on the
encoding/errors/universal_newlines/text arguments.

The universal_newlines parameter and attribute are maintained for
backwards compatibility.

Gregory P. Smith 738b7d9766 bpo-22635: subprocess.getstatusoutput doc update. (#3398)
The `subprocess.getstatusoutput` API was inadvertently changed
in Python 3.3.4.  Document the change, it is too late to undo the
API change now as it has shipped in many stable releases.

Alex Gaynor 368cf1d206 bpo-30420: List cwd parameter in subprocess convenience APIs (GH-1685)
Partially clarify the subprocess convenience API documentation by
explicitly listing the `cwd` parameter in their abbreviated signatures.

While this has been merged as an improvement, it doesn't fully
resolve the issue, as the `cwd` should also be covered in the
"Frequently Used Arguments" section, and the fact these APIs
pass unlisted keyword arguments down to the lower level APIs
is currently still unclear.

Subhendu Ghosh ae160bba20 bpo-26128: Added __init__to subprocess.STARTUPINFO (#171)

Victor Stinner 39892055cd asyncio doc: rewrite subprocess doc
* add a new example using transport and protocol
* rewrite the example using streams to make it much simpler (remove error
  handling, use a simpler Python code)
* copy (and adapt) more documentation from the subprocess module:

  - add a note about Process.wait() deadlock
  - add a note about shell injection
  - etc.

* sort Process methods and attributes in the same order than subprocess.Popen
  methods and attributes, so the documentation looks closer
* list differences between Process and subprocess.Popen APIs
