Yes, the point of shlex.quote is to get something that is *not* special to the shell, and therefore safe to pass to the shell.  If you *want* an & in your command, just pass it, don't quote it.  quote is for *untrusted* data, like filenames received from a user.

Or better, don't use shell=True all.

(list2cmdline has a different purpose, unique to windows)
