For some reason, that bug is Restrict-View-Commit, but here's the relevant part:

----------
I think we may still need to fix a few calls in chromium for
new-run-webkit-httpd and new-run-webkit-websocketserver

http://codesearch.google.com/#search/&exact_package=chromium&q=new-run-webkit&type=cs

Those will use the system python unless we tweak the bot step or the
c++ code that runs them.
