In Windows each program parses its own command line. Most C/C++ programs use the CRT's default [w]argv parsing. The CRT defaults to disabling wildcard expansion. Link with [w]setargv.obj to enable this feature: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8bch7bkk The CRT [w]argv parsing doesn't care about single quotes, but literal double quotes need to be escaped. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
