Unable to execute date command in subprocess.call

I'd like to execute the following command, but I don't know the correct format.How should I fix it?

subprocess.call("date-set="January 1, 2017 01:02:03")

Note:
If you try to do it, you'll see the following for this line:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
We have determined that it is a formatting error because we cannot execute it with the error
