In fact it doesn't appear to use shlex at all. Converting the
enumerate function to zip( range( len(l) ), l ) all the unit tests are
passed with python 2.2.3. A simple diff. follows:-

138c138
<   for (j, (a, b)) in zip( range( len(_IGNORE_TAGS) ), _IGNORE_TAGS
):
---

<   for (i, text) in zip( range( len(L) ), L ):

<     for (i, item) in zip( range( len(L) ), L ):
---
