The commit to r45234 has added an internally used keyword attribute named _deadstate to subprocess.Popen.poll, which is called by the __del__ method of this class. If you derived your own class from subprocess.Popen that overrides .poll() without taking kwargs, the __del__ method will trigger a TypeError about the unexpected keyword argument. Attached is a very simple test program that triggers the problem. It runs just fine with Python 2.4 however.
