This is as documented, but perhaps see Issue 20344 about clarifying the 
documentation.

[issue30041] subprocess: weird behavior with shell=True and args being a list

[Dimitri Merejkowsky]

New submission from Dimitri Merejkowsky:

If you have:

subprocess.run(["ls", "--help"], shell=True)

you'll see that the command run is actually just "ls", not "ls --help"
