difference between ossystem and subprocesscall

The main difference between os.system and subprocess.call is that os.system executes a command in a subshell, while subprocess.call creates a new process and communicates with it through pipes.

os.system returns the exit status of the command, while subprocess.call returns the return code of the process. subprocess.call also provides more control over the execution of the process, such as specifying the working directory, environment variables, and redirecting input and output.

In addition, subprocess.call is more secure than os.system because it allows you to specify the arguments as a list, which avoids shell injection attacks
