should these be fixed for python 2.4?

#-    Otherwise ``some_string`` almost certainly will be 
#- constructed by something
#-    along the lines of ``os.system('convert %s %s' % (infile, 
#- outfile))`` which
#-    of course is broken (e.g. ``infile = "with space"``). 

I don't understand why you say that that is broken.

Do you want to do this?

>>> infile = "with space"
>>> outfile = "no_space"
>>> 'convert %s %s' % (infile, outfile)
'convert with space no_space'


Or just want to pass two args?

>>> infile = '"with space"'
>>> outfile = "no_space"
>>> 'convert %s %s' % (infile, outfile)
'convert "with space" no_space'


Or need to pass arguments with ``''`` and ``""``?

>>> infile = "\"with 'space'\""
>>> outfile = "no_space"
>>> cad = 'convert %s %s' % (infile, outfile)
>>> cad
'convert "with \'space\'" no_space'>>> 
>>> print "[%s]" % cad
[convert "with 'space'" no_space]
