Summary: os.system on win32 can't handle pathnames with spaces
Initial Comment:
when calling os.system("file with spaces.exe"), Windows
outputs the following:
'file' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.
I tried quoting the filename. Still got the same error.

os.execute("\file with spaces\") seems to solve the problem.
Documentation here:

Turns out this is NOT a bug.

Can you escape the spaces with backslashes? Or with
circumflexes?
