[bug] AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'check_output'

It seems you have run into a dependency issue I was unaware of as I'm on a recent ubuntu with python 2.7.
http://docs.python.org/library/subprocess.html claim subprocess.check_output has been added in v2.7.
please update this module.
Also, could you check if this can be done via apt-get on your sys? We should update the INSTALL file
and maybe also the setup.py to set v>=2.7 as a dependency

subprocess.check_output has been added in v2.7.
please update this module.
Also, could you check if this can be done via apt-get on your sys?

Well, subprocess lives in python-minimal:

$ apt-file search subprocess.py | grep 2.7
python2.7-minimal: /usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py

So you'll obviously need python 2.7 for that:

# aptitude install python2.7-minimal
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  python2.7{a} python2.7-minimal 

To run alot without seriously bending your PYTHONPATH (where does notmuch.py live?), you'll have to re-install the dependencies with 2.7 (since they live in a subdir depending on the python interpreter version):

# ll /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
total 32K
drwxr-sr-x 2 root staff 4.0K 2011-08-17 23:38 alot/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff  416 2011-08-17 23:38 alot-0.1.egg-info

drwxr-sr-x 4 root staff 4.0K 2011-08-17 23:48 urwid-1.0.0-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/

[alot|notmuch/bindings/python|urwid]$ sudo python2.7 setup.py install

To install urwid, though, you will need python2.7's headers:

urwid# python2.7 setup.py install
    [...]
source/str_util.c:25: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
# aptitude install python2.7-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libpython2.7{a} python2.7-dev 

We should update the INSTALL file
and maybe also the setup.py to set v>=2.7 as a dependency

so, yes, you'll probably want something like this.
But: python2.7 fixes that issue for me.
