Python subprocess echo not passing quoted text to end of file

Question

I'm currently trying to append this line to the end of a file

 zone_text = 'zone \"domain.com\" { type master; file \"/etc/bind/zones/domain.com\";};' add_zone_file = subprocess.Popen( ['ssh', NAMESERVERS[0], '/bin/echo', '"{}"'.format(zone_text), '>>', '/etc/bind/named.conf.local'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE )

But when I inspect the file it outputs this into it

zone domain.com { type master; file /etc/bind/zones/domain.com;};

And I need it to output this

zone "domain.com" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/domain.com";};

Please consider using shlex.quote(). It should help. There's also an option to use shell=True to Popen(), but this one has some negative security aspects.
