Look at https://stackoverflow.com/a/4791612/1132603 as you have shell=True and might be running the same problem — Totoro, Mar 20 '18 at 13:08
also prexec_fn should be a function and you are executing the function before, try without the parenthesis, you can also pass start_new_session=True (check note in Popen method) instead if the python version has it. — Totoro, Mar 20 '18 at 13:26
