The Python 2.4 subprocess module by Peter Astrand is pure python for posix systems (a small C extension module is required only for win32 systems). You can bundle it with your code and use it with older Python versions. It even contains backward compatibility code to replace True and False if not found so it can run on Python 2.2.
