The solution is to enclose your process string in single quotes (or tripple quotes if you prefer!) That way your double quotes will be passed through untouched. It would make your code slightly easier to maintain if you were more consistent in the approach though. In some places you use raw strings in others double escaped strings. That could lead to confusion later.
