>>> import shlex
>>> shlex.split('a b c "d e"')
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd e']
>>> shlex.split(r'a b c "d \" e"')
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd " e']
Note that I had to use a raw string in the latter case because otherwise
there's no real backslash in the string::
>>> 'a b c "d \" e"'
'a b c "d " e"'
>>> r'a b c "d \" e"'
'a b c "d \\" e"'
