From the python doc, it isn't obvious to me what changed between 2.6
(squeeze) and 2.7 (wheezy), if that's indeed the default version
that's being used in both cases:
  http://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html

Anyway, you had exception issues, and the doc says notably:
| The most common exception raised is OSError. This occurs, for example,
| when trying to execute a non-existent file. Applications should
| prepare for OSError exceptions.

You may want to introduce some exception catching in later versions?

Anyway, since what's in unstable seems to do the job, please prepare a
source debdiff against wheezy's source package, using a 0.8~deb7u1
changelog entry on top of it, with wheezy as a distribution.

(Once we ACK it, build with -v0.7 so that we get proper changes and
Closes: for the BTS, and version tracking should be our friend.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
