Not sure what you mean by this.
Shlex is a standard library module.
It imports os and sys only, they are standard library modules.
If you have python you have them already.
If you mean cStringIO it is in the standard library(at least on my
system).
You dont have to use it just feed shlex an open file.
py>lexer = shlex.shlex(open('myrecord.txt', 'r'))

Hth,
