Subprocess with " " gets interpreted wrong in Python

Question

This codeline gets inproperly interpeted because of the "". How to fix that? subprocess is imported.

subprocess.run("netsh wlan connect name="WLAN Name"", shell=True)

Thanks for your help!

That's not a problem of subprocess, but rather of the string syntax in Python, I suggest. — Thomas Weller

You can use single quotes here subprocess.run('netsh wlan connect name="WLAN Name"', shell=True). The double quotes can also be used but you will have to use an escape with it.
