[Tutor] subprocess.call list vs. str argument

This part looks suspicious.  Are you sure you don't mean:

    '-f', '-F'

here?  They need to be separate arguments.



Also, you mention:

> Btw, shell=True is needed here.

Why do you need shell expansion on the arguments?  This can be
dangerous unless you know what you're doing.  See all the
red-backgrounded warnings the subprocess documentation.  For example:
