Comment(by rkirov):
ok, the culprit is in sage.misc.preparser.load
{{{
try:
filename = eval(filename, globals)
except Exception:
# handle multiple input files separated by spaces, which was
# maybe a bad idea, but which we have to handle for backwards
# compatibility.
v = filename.split()
if len(v) > 1:
for file in v:
load(file, globals, attach=attach)
return
}}}
so I guess any fix for files with spacebars will break the backwards
compatibility :/ Maybe for Sage 4 we can go away with backwards
compatibility on this issue (also maybe remove 'eval'). The new load()
already has capabilities of loading multiple files. Consider
1) load('file1.py file2.py')
2) load('file1.py','file2.py')
2) looks more pythonic to me.
