I agree with Stefan, but anyway, here's an approximate untested
literal translation:

import os
import subprocess

os.environ['LSFLOG'] = '/var/tmp/lsf_log'
subprocess.check_call(['tcsh', '/etc/setup'])
os.umask(0)
out = open(os.environ['AFLOG'], 'a')
subprocess.check_call(['env'], stdout=out)
out.close()

Cheers,
Chris
