I want to change the background of my MacBook with a python script, but I want to know how I can change the background of my Mac the easiest way. I have tried subprocess, but I get this error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'run'

Is there another way of changing the background?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am new with python.

This is what I have tried with subprocess as an example:

import subprocess
subprocess.run('ls')

The problem is that the subprocess is not working. I don't know what I am doing wrong – Pieter Bikkel May 23 '20 at 10:04
`subprocess.run(...)` was introduced in Python 3.5. So you are probably running the script with Python2 ? – Maurice Meyer May 23 '20 at 10:12
How can I run the script with python 3.5 or newer? – Pieter Bikkel May 23 '20 at 10:16
Try `python3 myScript.py`. – Maurice Meyer May 23 '20 at 10:17
I have tried python3 when I run it, but got this error: AttributeError: partially initialized module 'subprocess' has no attribute 'run' (most likely due to a circular import) – Pieter Bikkel May 23 '20 at 10:34
