That has nothing to do with python - it's a question of your shell. Because the shell is responsible for parsing the arguments, possibly instantiating variables or even executing subcalls. The resulting argument list is then passed to the C-main of python. So to pass arguments containing whitespace to python, do python myscript.py "an argument with whitespac in it" "another one" Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
