It looks (to the untrained eye! :-) like you're not passing it in in the
correct format. The shell commands take lists of space separated
commands and arguments. First param is the command 'make' and then a
list of args.

Try doing:

	c = 'make allmodconfig > .config'.split(' ')
	ShellCommand(c[0], c[1:] ... ) # or however args work
