Running multiple python scripts with subprocess python

I am trying to run multiple python scripts in parallel with subprocess in a linux OS

Similar to this: Running multiple commands from multiple terminal windows from python script

Here is what I tried:

subprocess.call(['gnome-terminal', '-e', "python3 ab.py"])
subprocess.call(['gnome-terminal', '-e', "python3 bc.py"])
subprocess.call(['gnome-terminal', '-e', "python3 cd.py"])

Unfortunately, the terminal flashes in split seconds and disappears. Any reason for this? adding shell=True makes the terminal stays but does not execute the script.

Do you need to split all parts of the command line into separate strings?

subprocess.call(['gnome-terminal', '-e', "python3", "ab.py"])

subprocess.run should work:

subprocess.Popen(['gnome-terminal', '-e', "python3", "ab.py"], shell=True)
subprocess.Popen(['gnome-terminal', '-e', "python3", "bc.py"], shell=True)
subprocess.Popen(['gnome-terminal', '-e', "python3", "cd.py"], shell=True)

Edit:

os.system("gnome-terminal -x python ab.py")
