Isn't it better to do the quoting outside subprocess; to let the caller do it? You say that "section 2" is our case, but how can we be sure of this: If subprocess is called with args='"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"', then we have case 1, right, and surrounding args with another pair of quotes would mean failure, right?

Oh, I see. 

>I believe it's still a problem with subprocess. 

I'm still not convinced of this. Isn't it better to do the quoting
outside subprocess; to let the caller do it? You say that "section 2" is 
our case, but how can we be sure of this: If subprocess is called with
args='"c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"', then we have
case 1, right, and surrounding args with another pair of quotes would
mean failure, right?
