Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

While it could be argued that it is 'obvious' that changing the stdin, stdout, 
stderr, and pid of a processes cannot work, I agree that a small addition would 
be good. In 17.1.2. Popen Objects, after "The following attributes are also 
available", insert " (do not try to change them)" before ':'.

Actually, it seems to me that the attributes should actually be read-only (in 
3.2) if possible (via custom Popen.__setattr__), in which case the only doc 
change needed (for 3.2) would be insertion of 'read-only' before 'attributes'.

Georg, if you know the id of the subprocess maintainer (if there is one now), 
could you add him to the nosy list for an opinion or comment?
