Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amauryfa at gmail.com> added the comment:

Python2 has a pure python implementation of subprocess, with separate calls to fork() and exec(); so the output of the subprocess contains the trace of the forked Python interpreter, until the exec() system call.
Python3 has a C implementation: _posixsubprocess.fork_exec() won't call the Python interpreter between fork() and exec(), and no trace is emitted.

Yes, Python3 is better :)
