> [snip rationale about why shutil and not subprocess]
I’m convinced (with one nit: sh in the shutil name does not ring a security 
alarm for me, as I understand it as “shell-like conveniences in nice, 
dont-do-nasty-things-with-stings Python” :) but the shell in check_shell_call 
does warn).

Automatic call of shlex.quote is an argument in favor of the new helpers.
