Add sound of me beating my head with a bat! :) Thanks Peter! -I was a bit too precise in my naming conventions for later review!

I tried asking dir(subprocess) and call wasn't listed there. I figured I would try again this morning, however, this is what I was greeted with shortly after booting up and launching my Terminal: [justme@ispy] ~$ python3 Python 3.4.3 (default, Oct 14 2015, 20:28:29) [GCC 4.8.4] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> >>> import subprocess Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/justme/python_work/subprocess.py", line 39Look carefully at the line above. You wrote a script and called it subprocess.py. Bad idea ;) Delete or rename your subprocess.py, and the one in the standard library will become visible again and work as smoothly as ever.^ SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal >>> Seems like the module is deteriorating or something, as yesterday it accepted the import command to include it! :) I found a subprocess.py in /usr/lib/python3.4 and grabbed it with gedit and looked at it line by line. It has tripple double quotes but also single double quotes throughout it in places, but they all seemed to have a companion quote to offset them...and the entire text area is one solid color which would seem to indicate it is being ignored by python... What should I do now?
