Try this instead:-

Code:
subprocess.check_output(shlex.split(command), stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

That doesn't work etiher. Also the exact same command works with subprocess.check_call. What's weird is the subprocess.check_output works in the python shell but not from the python script.

RUNLOCK(1)						      General Commands Manual							RUNLOCK(1)

NAME
runlock - prevent concurrent execution of a process SYNOPSYS
runlock [ -h ] runlock [ -d ] [ -f pathname ] [ -t timeout ] command [ args ] DESCRIPTION
runlock tries to hold an exclusive lock while it executes a command. Subsequent execution of runlock with the same lock, while that lock is held, will cause the new instance of runlock to terminate with a faliure exit code. Otherwise, the exit code of the subprocess is returned. USAGE
-d Debug mode; send log messages to standard error as well as to the system log. -f pathname Specifies the pathname of the file to use as a lock file. The default is to create a lock file in /tmp/cronutils-$USER with the name of the command, and suffix ".pid". -t timeout Specifies the duration, in seconds, for runlock to wait before giving up on trying to acquire the lock. The default is 5 seconds. -h Prints some basic help. BUGS
Sending SIGALRM to runlock before the timer has expired will cause the subprocess to be killed. SEE ALSO
