Steve Dower added the comment:
That would break paths like "\" or "D:\" ("D:" != "D:\" - the backslash is
meaningful here), but I'm fairly sure _nt_quote_args could add '\\"' to the end
if it ends in a backslash already (to escape the trailing slash):
for i, arg in enumerate(args):
if ' ' in arg:
- args[i] = '"%s"' % arg
+ args[i] = '"%s%s"' % (arg, '\\' if arg.endswith('\\') else '')
return args
For distutils, that's probably an okay fix since we're already quoting
everything, and it doesn't try to make things too smart. But it would break
people who are already escaping their own trailing backslash, and doesn't
provide a workaround that will work both before and after this change.
Especially for something like distutils, where people often have one setup.py
for all Python versions, this is pretty important.
