Kindly offline I was told,
Try patching .whitespace_split = True instead. Compare:
shlex.split("//./PhysicalDrive9 //./Cdrom9 //./Tape9 //./A:")
lex = shlex.shlex("//./PhysicalDrive9 //./Cdrom9 //./Tape9 //./A:")
lex.whitespace_split = True
list(lex)
Why and how often this patch makes shlex.shlex and shlex.split agree, I
still don't know - but for these specific examples, it works.
