New submission from Piotr Dobrogost:
According to the docstring of list2cmdline function in subprocess module the
sequence of a backslash followed by a double quote mark should denote double
quote mark in the output string. However it's not the case
Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr 6 2013, 19:55:15) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import subprocess
>>> print subprocess.list2cmdline(r'\"1|2\"')
\ \" 1 | 2 \ \"
The same behavior is in Python 3.3.1.
See "On Windows, how can I protect arguments to shell scripts using Python 2.7
subprocess?"(http://stackoverflow.com/q/4970194/95735) question on Stack
Overflow.
