The csv module is clever. Try the following:
import sys
import csv
writer = csv.writer(sys.stdout, delimiter=' ', quotechar="'",
quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
writer.writerow(sys.argv)
You might want to set a few more of the dialect options, too,
e.g., in case an arg contains a '.
The shutil module might contain something more specialized.
