As these are plain strings, each \n means a single newline characters.
Double up every backslash or use raw string literals
r'c:\windows\notepad.exe' in which backslash-escapes aren't expanded.
In most cases you can also use normal / slashes instead of back \ ones,
but I don't recall if os.spawnl is among those 'most cases'.
