Matthias ran the test script for me:

11:02:44  doko | $ python test.py                                
11:02:44  doko | main_name x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf other_name  
i386-linux-gnu_gl_conf other_alt NvidiaDetector.alternatives.Alternatives 
object at 0x18b6390>                                   
11:02:44  doko | oa_name type <type 'str'> value /usr/lib/fglrx/alt_ld.so.conf  
                 

So the current code already checks against None, and the passed value is
a string. So the subprocess command passes a different parameter which
is not a string than the alternative path.

Alberto, can you please have a look at this?
