Perhaps you could try using the new subprocess module, instead of using os.popen 
directly.

A fair amount of work went into making the Windows implementation of that module 
as solid as the *nix implementation, whereas there may still be issues with 
direct os.popen calls (as Roel's investigation suggests).

Cheers,
Nick.
