I am running this on Mint 18.
This is the third script I have written to open and position windows in
workspaces. The first two work, but trying to open ebook-viewe r (calibre)
with a specific book produces the following error.
If I run the same command in the terminal it works without an error.

I'm not very familiar with using the subprocess module yet, but when
the above call to "subprocess.call([self.program])" occurs, isn't
subprocess.call() expecting a list like
['ebook-viewer', '/home/jfb ...']
?
Hope I am not off-track here.

Bob,
I thought you were on to something, especially since Steven suggested
about the same thing. See my reply to Steven. It seems to be looking for
a str or byte not a list.
Thanks, Jim
