Python: change file/folder attributes in windows OS

I have made a folder using python3 script, and to apply multiple attributes (+h +s) to the folder I have to run ATTRIB command in Command Prompt. But I want to know how it can be done from the same python3 script.

import os

os.makedir("C:\\AutoSC")

# Now I want the code to give the same result such that I have opned CMD and writen following command
# C:\> attrib +h +s AutoSC

# Also show in the code, necessary imported modules

I want the folder to be created and immediately hidden as system folder. Which is not visible even after show hidden files.

Use the subprocess module or use os.system to send commands directly to OS.

import subprocess
subprocess.run(["ls","-l"])# in linux, for windows, it may change.

import os
os.system('attrib +h +s AutoSC')
