Python3 subprocess troubles
After struggling with this for days now, I'm reaching out to the experts of all things linux for some help with this.

I'm trying to run the following working command (on command line) inside a python script using subprocess:

Code:
rsync -avzh --no-perms --delete --include="*sub*" --exclude='*' txt@vm5:/var/opt/at/oss/global/bt/work/ /tmp/ct

This command works great on command line, but when I try using with subprocess I can't get it to work

To list what I've tried would make be crazy, but here is an example:
Code:
subprocess.run(['rsync', '-avzh', '-no-perms', '-delete', '-include=*sub*', '-exclude=*', 'txt@vm5:/var/opt/at/oss/global/bt/work/', '/tmp/ct'], shell=True)

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks

Have you tried:
Code:
subprocess.run([ 'rsync -avzh --no-perms --delete --include=\"*sub*\" --exclude=\'*\' txt@vm5:/var/opt/at/oss/global/bt/work/ /tmp/ct' ], shell=True)

EDIT:
Changed code...
