Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: I don't see this behavior on MacOS:
$ ./argtest arg1 arg2 "this should be a single argument" 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 15:47:53) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] ['./argtest', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'this should be a single argument'] This splitting is done by the shell (Unix-like systems) or by the C runtime (Windows), not by Python. What OS are you running? ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10322> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
