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.
