I am trying to run a command as a subprocess, and it keeps choking

Try omitting the shell=True argument.
Is there something I am missing about spaces in the path on windows?
Yes, type cmd /? and see the rather crazy rules about quotes on the shell...
(BTW if I use
f=os.popen(s, 'w')
It works fine, but that leaves me with a blocking call, and I really
want a subprocess)
This way you are not running your comand thru the shell.
