Python 2.6 has been unsupported since October 2013. Among other
things, that means it is no longer receiving security updates like
more recent versions. Unless you have an extremely strong reason for
wanting to stay to Python 2.6, you should update your Python version.

try-except in every single function is a code smell. You should only
be using it where you're actually going to handle the exception. If
you catch an exception just to log it, you generally should also
reraise it so that something further up the call chain has the
opportunity to handle it.

If you're returning True to mean "This completed without exception"
and False to mean "This raised an exception", then the more Pythonic
thing to do would just be to let the exception propagate, giving the
caller the opportunity to catch, inspect, and handle the exception.

Most of these are unused. Only import modules that your code is actually using.

What is "run"? It's imported like a module above, but here you're
using it like a function.

What exceptions are you expecting this to catch? run_cmd_and_verify
already catches any expected exceptions that it raises.
Also, you should almost never use a bare except like this. Use "except
Exception" instead. A bare except will catch things like
KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit that should not be caught.

As above, what exceptions are you expecting here?
