New submission from Florian Bruhin:
The os.exec* functions seem to mangle arguments on Windows. So far I noticed
the supplied argv gets split on spaces, and double-quotes get stripped when not
escaped.
Example, on Windows 7:
>>> platform.platform()
'Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1'
>>> os.execlp('python', 'python', '-c',
>>> "sys=__import__('sys');print(sys.argv)", 'Hello World')
['-c', 'Hello', 'World']
Same on Archlinux: ['-c', 'Hello World'] as expected.
Both running Python 3.3.3.
