Hello,
I found this simple script online but when I execute it I get the
following error: "TypeError: 'list' object is not callable"
Here is the code sample:import subprocess
ls_output= subprocess.check_output(['dir'])
It works on my system: Ubuntu 14.04LTS
(venv)alex@X301:~$ python

Perhaps you are using a linux command on a non linux (?Windows) system.
