Answer 1

I just got this error on Mac OS, while trying to call a one-line script using subprocess.call. The script ran fine when called from the command line. After adding the shebang line #!/usr/bin/env sh, it also ran fine via subprocess.call.

It appears, while the shell has a default executor for text files marked executable, subprocess.Popen does not.
