ISTM what you want is not shell=True, but a separate function that
follows the system policy for translating a command name into a

in the Python 2 stdlib, but Python 3 has shutil.which(). If there's a
PyPI backport of that for Py2, you should be able to use that to
figure out the command name, and then avoid shell=False.
Huh. Next time, Chris, search the web before you post. Via a
StackOverflow post, learned about distutils.spawn.find_executable().
--> import sys
--> sys.executable
'/usr/bin/python'
