I called a python script with a command line argument which is a windows path with spaces in it. The usual way to do so is to put it in double quotes. This argument was ending with a backslash. so the last two characters of the quoted argument were '\"'. Using Pydev debugger I could see that in the sys.argv list leading quote was removed, but the trailing one was still there - but the backslash was removed. I assume there was some escaping logic applied to the parameter in the wrong order with the code that unquotes a quoted parameter.
