File names with spaces can be tricky. Try thoroughly separating the 
individual arguments and let subprocess do the necessary escaping. 
I think it should be

subprocess.Popen([
  "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_05\\bin\\java.exe",
  "-cp",
  "C:\\antlr\\antlr-3.4-complete.jar",
  "org.antlr.Tool",
  "C:\\Users\\Jason\\Documents\\antlr\\java grammar\\Java.g"],
   stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()
