You don't appear to be giving any arguments to the Powershell Script?
You are just calling

powershell.exe ./aduser.ps1

Where is the argument defined? Are you by any chance passing it
to the python script when you call it? If so you will need to,
like the powershell version, extract it from sys.srgv[] and then
pass it into the Popen call.
