Some thoughts you might try:

What does your .desktop file say (launcher menu)? Assuming you have it 
installed that way. Or is it a flatpak or something?

Read the .desktop file so you use the exact same command. It might not be 
what you expected. It might need some option or it's a different command 
from what you thought.

Or, try the command you used, but at the prompt, does that work? Get any 
errors?

Or try something simpler, like without PIPEs, sort of back to basics, as 
it were.

What's in "choice" variable? Only the (correct) command, or something else 
also? Test it to be sure, it's easy to add things that shouldn't be there 
in a moment of a brain fatigue.

Does it work outside your script file? For instance by invoking the Python 
prompt and try there?
