In short, shlex.shlex('blob f(" ")', posix=False) fails, whereas shlex.shlex('blob f( " ")', posix=False) "The problem appears to be that Python source obviously doesn't sit well with non-posix whitespace-split shlex. [...] if you lead all your open-quotes with whitespace, you should be fine (works for all given examples, at least). [...] I have no idea whether this is a Python bug or not, since I don't know what the reference standard is, but this is definitely an IPython bug. We should not be trying to use shlex to parse Python code as if it were command-line arguments." ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13543> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
