Subprocess is imported at at the top of the module in 3.x [1]. The whole distutils.cygwinccompiler module is an ImportError if subprocess is not importable. Or did you mean for 2.7 only (where get_versions() uses os.popen)? [1] http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3f3cbfd52f94/Lib/distutils/cygwinccompiler.py#l51

Subprocess is imported at at the top of the module in 3.x [1]. The
whole distutils.cygwinccompiler module is an ImportError if subprocess
is not importable.

Or did you mean for 2.7 only (where get_versions() uses os.popen)?
