Automatically do keypress enter when prompted in command prompt

I am trying to automatically press enter after I execute a command in command prompt, for example, I run....

    d:\myunit> codecov instrument -ip

And it outputs:

Warning: It is recommended when instrumenting code that you use the sub-unit option for 'codecov' to avoid instrumentation being inserted in the source code in your development unit. Press 'enter' to continue with-out using a sub-unit.

If that command is actually executed from a python script(using os.system('codecov instrument -ip')). How can I make the same script also press enter so that the script can continue without user input? Currently I have been trying to use a subprocess but am not sure if it is the best way to go about it and have not gotten it to work.

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import os, sys, subproces

read, write = os.pipe() 
os.write(write, b"\n")
os.close(write)
subprocess.check_call('codecov instrument -ip', stdin=read, shell=True)

This is what I was able to use as the solution.
