So how else would you express something like
def shell_escape(Arg) :
"""returns Arg suitably escaped for use as a command-line argument
to Bash."""
return \
re.sub \
(
r"[\<\>\"\'\|\&\$\#\;\(\)\[\]\{\}\`\!\~\ \\]",
lambda Match : "\\" + Match.group(0),
Arg
)
# Need to catch anything that might be meaningful to shell
#end shell_escape
?
