I see — you might have the external script issues sorted out by now, 
but another alternative (where we do not have to consider 
AppleScript’s string quoting rules embedded into a shell string) would 
be to use an environment variable, for example:

     import pipes
     import subprocess

     path = "That's an \"environment\" variable!"
     cmd = "PDF={} osascript -e 'tell app \"TextMate\" to display alert 
(system attribute \"PDF\")'".format(pipes.quote(path))
     subprocess.call(cmd, shell=True)
