Separate to your actual problem: Is there a reason for splitting like that, rather than simply using a list of separate arguments? That would be a lot safer and easier; no going through the hassles of quoting and splitting. Your exact problem is likely to be due to unclosed files. I don't know enough about .communicate() to know whether it closes everything immediately or not, but it looks like you're progressively opening more and more and more pipes.
