The parens on the right are superfluous: >>> a, b = "foo bar".split() >>> a 'foo' >>> b 'bar' > inode_cmd = "/bin/df --output=pcent,ipcent /var| grep -v Use | tr '%' ' '" > output = subprocess.check_output( inode_cmd, > stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True ) You may also do the post-processing in Python, which allows you to avoid the shell completely: >>> output = subprocess.check_output(["/bin/df", "--output=pcent,ipcent", "/var"]) >>> output b'Use% IUse%\n 85% 16%\n' >>> a, b = output.replace(b"%", b"").split()[-2:] >>> a b'85' >>> b b'16' If you want integers: >>> a, b = [int(v) for v in output.replace(b"%", b"").split()[-2:]] >>> a 85 >>> b 16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
