Here is yet another solution.
pexpect.split_command_line()
>From the documentation:
split_command_line(command_line)
This splits a command line into a list of arguments.
It splits arguments on spaces, but handles
embedded quotes, doublequotes, and escaped characters.
It's impossible to do this with a regular expression, so
I wrote a little state machine to parse the command line.

But I am surprised to see there is a standard module already doing
this (shlex)
