python27 support missing

[chorejasbob]

The current python init.py module is not python27 compatible. Would it be possible to add support for python 2.7? I've created the following diff, which adds python2.7 support:

I've verified that the patch works on 2.7:

$ ipython

Hi @chorejasbob this isn't something I'm planning to do anytime soon. If you do a PR with the fix I can review and test then I'll look into merging it. Not sure what the clean way of supporting both versions in a single module is so will also need to do some research!

Hi @dgildeh I've updated the 2.7 code to include the 'subprocess32' module, since it backports all of the newer functionality available in the python 3 version of the subprocess module. You can read more about it here: https://pypi.org/project/subprocess32/

I've created a new local branch and will start testing using this module. I'll create a PR once I can test and verify functionality works on both 2.7 and 3.x.
