Piping processes works with 'shell = True' but not otherwise.

pipes usually consumes disk storage at '/tmp'. Are you sure you have enough room on that filesystem? Make sure no other processes are competing against for that space. Just my 50c because I don't know what's causing Errno 0. I don't even know what are the possible causes of such error. Good luck!
