Code:
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
op = Popen("lsblk", shell=True, stdout=PIPE).stdout.read()
print op
a = raw_input("Enter Path of Device to be copied : ",)
b = raw_input("Enter new name for Image : ",)

Please help, I am not familiar with subprocess.Popen and am a novice in programming.
Popen(["command", "-opt", "value", "arg1", "arg2" ...], stdout=PIPE)
You are not using the Popen function the right way. Here is a short example considering your script :
op = Popen(["dd", "if="+a, "of="+b, "bs=512"], stdout=PIPE)
You shoud take a look to the subprocess documentation (help(subprocess) in an interpreter)
