When people do Python 3 work and encounter an exception on this line, their first instinct is to do a blame and then NI me on the bug (which, fair enough). However when this particular issue is encountered it's usually that the ProcessHandler API is being invoked incorrectly and the process isn't being opened in the correct mode. Here we dump an error message to the screen immediately before the exception is thrown to hopefully point people working on dependencies of bug 1577599 on the right path.
