I wondered about that, but figured "it must be safe" since test_popen's
_do_test_commandline also does a popen("python ...").

So what I'm actually assuming is that you don't have a broken Python first
on your path <wink>.

I don't know.  For example, does that work for you?  If so, that would be a
good start.  It works for me, so I'll check that in.
