[Rivet] Problems with Rivet2

[Dominic Hirschbuehl]

Hi Andy,

I found the problem.
subprocess.check_output()
is only available for Python 2.7 and upwards.
I used python 2.6.6 and therefore the routine
try_cmd(args)
gave always False back.

Maybe you can put this check in your bootstrap script, that one needs at
least python 2.7.

Cheers
  Dominic

P.S. Why it doesn't work within Athena I still don't know.
