I had the same need in my small command line client (that uses Cmd.Cmd)
and I solved it by using shlex.split() instead of regular string split.
I haven't looked at optparse code lately and perhaps it can do the same.

Can you show an example of this not working?  Works fine for me in
2.4/2.5/2.6.

Closing due to vague report description.
