CustomRun.cli_args_ok()usedshlex.split()with POSIX rules on every platform, so on Windows backslashes were treated as escape characters (c:\Usersbecamec:Users) and single quotes as quotes, unlikepython.exe, whosesys.argvfollows the C runtime rules. And the previous arguments were passed as a list to the entryStringVar, which displayed them as a Tcl list ({c:users}).On Windows, the command line is now split with the same rules as the C runtime uses (backslashes are literal unless they precede a double quote;
\"is a literal quote;""inside a quoted part is a literal quote). The newutil._split_windows()was checked against the actualsys.argvofpython.exeon Windows for a set of tricky inputs, and it round-tripssubprocess.list2cmdline(), which is now used to display the previous arguments (shlex.join()on other platforms).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
