How to delete bash history in python script on Mac?

I want to delete the bash history using a python script on my Macbook Pro.

I know two ways to delete bash history with bash shell

1.rm ~ / .bash_history

2. history -c

But this command does not work in python script with subprocess:

1.rm ~ / .bash_history

import subprocess
subprocess.call([‘rm’, ‘~/.bash_history'])

Error:

rm: ~ / .bash_history: no such file or directory

2. history -c

import subprocess
subprocess.call(['history', '-c'])

Error:

"test.py", 8,    subprocess.call(['history', '-c']) "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py" , a > 524,    return Popen (* popenargs, ** kwargs).wait()   "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py" , a > 711, init   errread, errwrite)   "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py" , a > 1308, _execute_child    raise child_exception
