I want to create a python script which could be used to execute Android adb commands. I had a look at https://github.com/rbrady/python-adb but can't seem to make it work perfectly. Any suggestions?

This tool should do the work. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyadb/0.1.1
I had to modify a few functions to have it operate on Python 2.7 and use subprocess instead. Here the modified code in my version:
def __build_command__(self,cmd):
if self.__devices is not None and len(self.__devices) > 1 and self.__target is None:
self.__error = "Must set target device first"
return None
if type(cmd) is tuple:
a = list(cmd)
elif type(cmd) is list:
a = cmd
else:
a = [cmd]
a.insert(0, self.__adb_path)
if self.__target is not None:
a.insert(1, ['-s', self.__target])
return a
def run_cmd(self, cmd):
"""
Run a command against adb tool ($ adb <cmd>)
"""
self.__clean__()
if self.__adb_path is None:
self.__error = "ADB path not set"
return
try:
args = self.__build_command__(cmd)
if args is None:
return
# print 'args>', args
cmdp = subprocess.Popen(args, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
self.__output, self.__error = cmdp.communicate()
retcode = cmdp.wait()
# print 'stdout>', self.__output
# print 'stderr>', self.__error
if retcode < 0:
print >>sys.stderr, "Child was terminated by signal", -retcode
else:
return
except OSError, e:
self.__error = str(e)
return

Use a monkeyrunner tool for that. From it's documentation:
Besides using the monkeyrunner API itself, you can use the standard Python os and subprocess modules to call Android tools such as Android Debug Bridge.

The python-adb project implements the USB communications layer and up, even providing an Android adb-like API for easy conversion.
