 If you want to test if you can run the command or not, why not simply:


 {{{
 try:
     ret = self._runCommand(RunCommand, prog='g.proj',
                            read=True, flags='p')
 except OSError:
     sys.exit(_("GRASS module '%s' not found. Unable to start map "
                "display window.") % 'g.proj')
 }}}
