>>> os.system('"C:\Program Files\UltraEdit\uedit32.exe" "arg"')
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I am really stumbeled by this! Why do I have to write two " at the
beginning of the command to make it work? Seems like this problem only
occurs when there is a space in the path.
