The goal is to match posix shell semantics. Can you provide a concrete example where shlex.shlex does something different from a posix-compliant shell? With all the escaping, it's going to be tough.

Note also that your code raises a DeprecationWarning in 3.7, at least, and will be an error in the future. You should probably use r-strings in your examples.
