The problem here is not so much that you've exceeded 80 columns, but that there's no logical
structure which gives your eyes (and your brain) hints about how to parse this.  I would
start by adding some white space

>    p = Subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(cmd), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

now, at least, it's easier to see where each argument stops and the next one starts.  But,
I would really break this up into multiple lines
