First, is this problem definitely still in 2.15.24 ?

Second, we could always just rewrite the python scripts.  And by "rewrite",  
I mean "add maybe 10 lines of python to use os.popen3 instead of  
subprocess, as discussed at the top of python/book_snippets.py".

Third, we could seriously examine Jan's patch to determine why it worked at  
the time, and what has changed since then.


I reject the notion that we need to give up on having Grand Unified  
Binaries just because we don't want to write 10 lines of python.
