It's already there. It's called shlex.split(), and follows the semantic of a standard UNIX shell, including escaping and other things. >>> import shlex >>> shlex.split(r"""Hey I\'m a "bad guy" for you""") ['Hey', "I'm", 'a', 'bad guy', 'for', 'you'] Giovanni Bajo _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
