New submission from timonegk <pyt...@timonengelke.de>:
Steps to reproduce: >>> from shlex import split >>> line = "export F=$'\\''" >>> split(line) ValueError: No closing quotation However, when printing the line >>> print(line) export F=$'\'' and pasting the output in bash, no further quotation marks are required. The behavior of bash is described in its man page (line 497 for me, Chapter Quoting) and occurs also when bash is called with --posix. Therefore I guess that shlex does not reproduce the posix behavior here. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 355265 nosy: timonegk priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Shlex does not parse commands containing single quotes correctly type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38570> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
