I'd like to use python subprocess in my kickstart snippet.

The tail end of my /etc/cobbler/settings has:

cheetah_import_whitelist:
- "random"
- "re"
- "time"
- "subprocess"

My snippet is:

echo "#a test"

import subprocess

set $parts=subprocess.STD_INPUT_HANDLE

set $parts="XX"

echo "#$parts"

My pre-script is (Template is checked):

echo "#a-test"
$SNIPPET('spacewalk/1/a-test')

This causes a blank Kickstart File for the profile. If I comment out the set and uncomment the other set I get the Kickstart File that I expect.
