Description
attachandrun.c is a horrible bit of C that tries to do things that are like subprocess.open(). To make matters worse, it links against libathdir, for no good reason, when you can just do athdir locker -t bin to get the same effect, and the code already does fork.
Instead of keeping it around, just move to Python, as this will be shorter, and prettier.

Here's the rewrite for review. Please send me comments before I commit it; the current plan is to integrate attachandrun, athrun, and gathrun into the same source package.
