Python is interpreting the \"s as "s before it's being passed to os.system. Try doubling the backslashes. >>> print '/usr/bin/gnuclient -batch -l htmlize -eval "(htmlize-file> >>> \"test.c\")"' /usr/bin/gnuclient -batch -l htmlize -eval "(htmlize-file> "test.c")" >>> print '/usr/bin/gnuclient -batch -l htmlize -eval "(htmlize-file> >>> \\"test.c\\")"' /usr/bin/gnuclient -batch -l htmlize -eval "(htmlize-file> \"test.c\")" --Ben -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
