subprocess coomplains about argument list being to long

I have pretty much written the entirety of my very first python3 program! It is nothing too crazy, just a python3 port of the shell script I use to launch programs. The issue I am having is that my python3 edition of this script keeps complaining about the arguments list in my subprocess call call being too long. I did some debugging and this is due to list_of_programs, but in my shell script edition I never had this issue so I have to imagine that this is an issue with subprocess not the actual shell. I initially though this was due to list_of_programs not being seen as a string so I tried str(list_of_porgrams), but got the same issue. Could someone expand on why I am getting this error?
