Python is removing my quotes!

[Robert Dailey]

Hi,

Note: I'm using Python on Windows

I have an application that allows a user to submit a password as a command
line parameter. The password of choice may contain any characters the user
wishes, including quotes. If I do the following:

python password.py "9999"MyPassword

The resulting output when I print this inside the script is:

9999MyPassword

Notice how the quotations have been stripped. Is it DOS doing this, or
Python? Is there a way I can fix it?

Thanks.
