This answer is outdated and no longer working

This worked for me:

import praw

user_name = "user_name_to_get"
user_agent = "subreddit analyzer"

r = praw.Reddit(user_agent=user_agent)
user = r.get_redditor(user_name)

subs = set()

try:
    overview = user.get_overview()

    for item in overview:
        subs.add(item.subreddit.display_name)

except praw.errors.NotFound:
    print("Unable to find user")

print subs

This is how I fetched the subscribed subreddits of my own user-id using PRAW : 

reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='client-id',
                 client_secret="client-secret",
                 username='username',
                 password='password',
                 user_agent='agent')

subredditList = reddit.user.subreddits(limit=None)

for item in subredditList:
    print(item.display_name)
