Summary: os.system on win32 can't handle pathnames with spaces

Initial Comment:
when calling os.system("file with spaces.exe"), Windows
outputs the following:

'file' is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.

I tried quoting the filename. Still got the same error.
