As described in bpo-9517, many test modules do not make use of the helpers in script_helpers.py to invoke the python interpreter in a subprocess. bpo-9517 will be broken down into several smaller issues so we can address smaller change sets.

This issue is to update test_capi.py to use script_helpers.py.

I can't seem to get test_no_FatalError_infinite_loop to fail - I tried reverting the fix that this was verifying, but the test still passed and no infinite loop to be seen. I'm wondering if this is because I can't reproduce it on a mac.

I am working on this issue.

I tested the patch locally, on my Gnu/Linux machine, and it seems fine.
