how to invoke sshfs within python script?

I want to mount a remote directory using sshfs. sshfs working fine from terminal. But how to invoke it from within python script?

I tried something like this - but didn't work at all.

import os

cmd = "/usr/bin/sshfs [email protected]:/home/giis /mnt" 
os.system(cmd)

import subprocess
mount_command = f'sshfs {host_username}@{host_ip}:{host_data_directory} {local_data_directory}'
subprocess.call(mount_command, shell=True)
# Do your stuff with mounted folder
unmount_command = f'fusermount -u  {local_data_directory}'
subprocess.call(unmount_command, shell=True)
