Of course if you can do something like

HAVE_SUBPROCESS=True
try:
    import subprocess
except ImportError:
    HAVE_SUBPROCESS=False

... and then replace your Popen() calls with something that either uses
Popen() or os.popen() based on the value of HAVE_SUBPROCESS, then that
would do it. Or you generate your code with some autotools magic, based
on AX_PYTHON_MODULE. That would probably make the end result a bit prettier.

Cheers,
Florian
