Answer 1

Use the -y to automate apt-get. Thus, you don't have to simulate the "y"-press.

Btw, I'd recommend using the subprocess-module, especially if you're planing to work with stdin/stdout.

And: be carefull! You seem to run this as root, or with sudo. If xxx happens to be libc-bin for some reason, you'll have fun restoring your system.
