Ok, a python guru I am not, but I did manage to replace the 'popen2'
call to the current 'subprocess' call which fixed DVD device discovery
for me. I still have to figure something else out though. When it
executed growisofs it crashed and I haven't figured out which piece of
it I broke, but I cut & pasted the growisofs call and now it's running
(burning). If I get it all figured out I'll put up the fixed script
somewhere.
