[python-win32] Quoting Blanks in Command Line

Hi folks,

I've a little script which gets a list of files from
the command line.

myscript.py -f file1,file2,"file3 with blank"

Some filenames will contain blanks and
sys.argv[1:] will give me that result:

['-f,'file1,file2,"file3','with','blanks"']

and not the expected list

['-f,'file1,file2,"file3 with blanks"']

I've tried to quote the blanks "\ ", 
but this attempt doesn't work.

Has anybody an idea to fix this problem?

Many thanks

Andi
