We just discussed that in #udev, indeed stuff gets quoted if you use these arguments in rules (pretty much because you do pass them as command line arguments, into shells, etc.). > In this case we actually need the text of the Device ID completely > unaltered. It's useless otherwise. So, one immediate workaround would be to not pass the device ID itself, but the path (%p) and just read that value plus "/ieee1284_id" from the python program. That's a little tricky with identifying the ID at removal time, though (you'd need to remember the quoted one as well, i. e. consider that an abstract identifier for the real device ID). A more interesting approach is to use libgudev, which provides a gobject-based interface to udev. Ideally it'd be easy to auto-generate python bindings with gobject introspection, but I never did that before. I'll look into that in the next days, and report back if that's a viable approach.
