Roger Serwy added the comment:
Upon further reading of the non-POSIX mode of shlex, this behavior is not a
bug. See
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/shlex.html?highlight=shlex#parsing-rules
The "'h' w" test case parses correctly according to:
* Closing quotes separate words ("Do"Separate is parsed as "Do" and Separate);
The " 'h' w" test case parses correctly, since the quote is now within a word.
The literal whitespace at the beginning is not recognized as whitespace, as it
is not a "|". This follows the rule:
* Quote characters are not recognized within words (Do"Not"Separate is parsed
as the single word Do"Not"Separate);
I'm closing this issue as invalid. Feel free to reopen if there is an error in
my analysis.
