Hi,

im using a QFileDialog to let the user select a path that is used later in a command send to the shell like this:

retcode = Popen(command + " " + path, shell=True, stdout = PIPE, stderr = PIPE)

The problem that occurs now is when the user selects an "ugly" path like this /home/user/!" §$/. The shell don't understand the special chars so i have to escape them with "\" .
Is there a function that does this ?
If there isn't i would use a RegEx but I can't even seem to find a list containing all special chars :/

Greetings
