[Tutor] SyntaxError: can't assign to literal while using ""blkid -o export %s | grep 'TYPE' | cut -d"=" -f3" % (fs)" using subprocess module in Python

[srinivasan]

Even after changing as per the below
"blkid -o export %s | grep 'TYPE' | cut -d'=' -f3"
or:
'blkid -o export %s | grep "TYPE" | cut -d"=" -f3'
or:
"blkid -o export %s | grep \"TYPE\" | cut -d\"=\" -f3"

Still my output is:
*/dev/mmcblk1p1: LABEL="efi" UUID="1084-AA42" TYPE="vfat"*

My expected output should be only:
*vfat*

Could you guys please do the needful?
