The attached patches for 1.4.x and 1.5.x work for me. Please test.
-    writeToFile('a b.tex', r'\nonstopmode\message{working^^J}' )
-    if ''.join(cmdOutput(LATEX + ' "a b"')).find('working') != -1:
+    writeToFile('a b.tex', r'\message{working^^J}' )
+    if os.name == 'nt':
+      latex_out = ''.join(cmdOutput(LATEX + '
"\\nonstopmode\\input{\\"a b\\"}"'))

use r' ' and tripple quote can reduce the use of backslash. Something like

LATEX + r' ''\nonstopmode\inout{\"a b'"}}' ))

+    else:
+      latex_out = ''.join(cmdOutput(LATEX + ' \'\\nonstopmode\input{"a b"}\''))

I think find (or even simpler 'working' in latex_out) can handle new
lines, so ''.join is not needed.

I will test the patches.
