Comment(by mpatel):
An aside: For this special situation:
1. Build Sage with no spaces in `SAGE_ROOT`.
2. Rename `SAGE_ROOT` to contain space(s).
the patches [http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mpatel/trac/9644 here]
should get Sage to start and get `sage -b`, `sage -clone`, `sage
-docbuild`, and `sage -t(p)` commands to work. Except for some SYMPOW and
GAP-related tests, the long doctests pass. It's likely that fixing these
components requires spkg updates.
I'm sure there are other problems to fix, and these patches certainly
won't allow Sage to build with spaces in `SAGE_ROOT`. But the exercise
suggests that to fix most (all?) Python code, we should focus on system
calls, e.g., `os.{popen*,system}`, `subprocess.{call,Popen}`, etc. Of
course, we can open other tickets for these changes.
