Eh... this was more than four years ago, so I had to reconstruct the facts. At the time of the commit above, there was no parser for QProcess, so I had to use the quote_python flag for obtaining something which could be directly passed to Qt. Shortly after, I wrote the parser but forgot that flag, apparently. Hopefully, it can be ditched safely now. -- Enrico
