Python Mount CIFS share with space in linux

I am trying to mount to a CIFS share with space in my linux machine using python like below:

from subprocess import call
t = mount -t cifs -o username=kalair2 "//10.32.135.87/root/Singapore Lab/SYMM"      /mnt/share
print t
if os.path.exists("/mnt/share"):
    print "/mnt/share path already exists"
else:
    call("mkdir /mnt/share")
    call("chmod 777 /mnt/share")
    print "mnt/share has been created"
call(t)

But ended up in the error... Traceback (most recent call last): File "mounttest.py", line 12, in call(t) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 478, in call p = Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 642, in init errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1234, in _execute_child raise child_exception OS Error: [Err no 2] No such file or directory

It works if i execute this mount command in shell with space. Can anyone help me with this?

call should be called with an array of arguments - not a single string for the command with the arguments, as documented here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html

Your command should look like this:

call(["mkdir", "/mnt/share"])

Try escaping your space:

"//10.32.135.87/root/Singapore\ Lab/SYMM"
