No, the Windows command line does no parsing at all.  It's just a 
string.  However, CPython is built using the Microsoft C (C++) compiler, 
so by default it uses their runtime library, with its quirks.

It would certainly be possible to write ones own argv builder, but by 
using the "standard" one, CPython is more consistent with other Windows 
apps, most of which now use the same library functions.

In Unix type systems, the command line implementation is very different. 
  I don't know if it's even possible to access the raw command line.
