'NoneType' is not iterable in _nt_quote_args in spawn.py when setup() is called. This was tested using Jython 2.7.1b2. 

Here is a stacktrace:

And here is a patch: https://github.com/jythontools/jython/pull/26

Explanation: This arguments list eventually gets joined via a ' '.join([arguments]) and there is a None in that list. Obviously you can't join None to a string. I'm not sure *how* the arguments list has a None value, but I ran into this.
