split parameter line with quotes

[teddyber]

here's the solution i have for the moment :

	t = shlex.shlex(data)
	t.wordchars = t.wordchars + "/+.-"
	r=''
	while 1:
	    token = t.get_token()
	    if not token:
	        break
	    if not token==',': r = r+token
	    else: r = r + ' '
	self.DEBUG(r,'ok')
        for pair in r.split(' '):
            key,value=pair.split('=', 1)
                print(key+':'+value)

i know this is not perfect still but i'm coming a long way from very
bad php habits! :o)
and thanks for your help!
