How?  anonx does

  app = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])  # Pick all arguments,

but calling

  foo "bar x"

is not the same as calling

  foo bar x.

Similar for directories: if the current work directory is something like
"/foo/bar foo", then

  f.write("cd " + directory + "\n")

will not work. (Everything except \0 can appear in a path.)

You could just not redirect stdout (same as stderr).
