Out of curiosity, why do the python tests even care if /bin/sh exists?
The python tests run on multiple platforms, some of which have a working /bin/sh. If it exists, certain ones (there are only two) will start an sh process and read its output.
Surely this is still a bug in the Python test suite though. They should know that "/bin/sh" is not technically a valid path on Windows/DOS systems, and it only works due to system magic translating /'s to \'s.
