The default Mac shell is a Bourne shell. Bash has been the default login 
shell until recently, when they switched the default (for new accounts, 
obviously) to zsh. As a zsh user, I laud this decision!

Anyway, normal Bourne shell quoting is the go. So usually you'd use 
single quotes (because double quotes expand $ and `).

Both bash and zsh had TAB completion too, so the OP should be able to cd 
into the directory as described and go "python foo<TAB>" to expand the 
filename starting with foo, which will correctly quote the expansion if 
needed and either bash or zsh.
