If the path to the python executable contains an embedded space, any
command
that attempts to spawn a shell will fail with "invalid argument"
since the
space makes the command appear to contain extra args.
In some sense, the root of the problem is locate-file, called by
executable-find (both defined in files.el). locate-file does not
return quoted
paths. I'm not sure if the best fix is at the locate-files level,
since I'm not
sure what consequences this might have elsewhere, esp on non-Windows
OS's. The
most localized fix would be in python.el, changing
python-shell-parse-command
to add the required quotes. In the simplest case, this would be just
change the
format statement from
(format "%s %s"
to
(format "\"%s\" %s"
This definitely works on Windows, but I'm not certain how this would
affect
other OS's. Perhaps the format string has to be conditioned on the
OS.
