[Tutor] pip install of subprocess module

[Derek Smith]

Hi All,

Thank for the recent replies.  I want to use the subprocess.run module b/c per the docs os.system is antiquated and cannot use  more than 1 arg in 3.6.
Why am I doing wrong below?  Also couldn't I just copy and paste the subprocess code from github and create a file, but then how do I tell python this is a new module called os.system since this py file requires os.system and os.spawn*
I am on AIX 7.1, python 3.6.2, pip 9.0.1

Thx agn!
