[Tutor] lists

[Norman Khine]

Hi,
actually what I was trying to do carries from my last post, where my 
media files are a list that I want to add to the

subprocess.call(['sox', ', '.join(media_list), 'list.wav'])

 >>> print ', '.join(media_list)
upper_b.wav, upper_a.wav
 >>> subprocess.call(['sox', ', '.join(media_list), 'list.wav'])
sox formats: can't open input file `upper_b.wav, upper_a.wav': No such 
file or directory
2
 >>>

but this is treated as one item, rather than the two.
