You have quite a few prints in there so you should have some idea what 
it was doing when it freezes?

If not add a few debug prints to show entry/exit of the functions, that 
should narrow it down a bit.

The most likely places for a freeze are loops and calls to external 
programs so again wrap your loops and subprocess calls up with debug 
prints to see if you can identify which one causes the freeze.
