Summary: test_tempfile fails on windows if space in install path

Initial Comment:
test_tempfile fails for me on XP when Python is

installed into

\Program Files\Python2.3



I can't cut'n'paste from the window, but the error is

C:\Program: Can't open file 'Files\Python23\python.exe'

from test_tempfile, line 299.

I'm not at home so I have to paste it in here (could provide a 

patch later). Took me ~2 hours to fix this one (horrible 

win32). For more information visit 

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2003-

August/037556.html:



test_tempfile.py (295-297):



  decorated = '"%s"' % sys.executable

  tester = '"%s"' % tester

  retval = os.spawnl(os.P_WAIT, sys.executable, decorated, 

tester, v, fd)

Attempting the obvious fix of " " quoting sys.executable

gives me a Invalid argument error from os.spawnv, so that's

my windows knowledge exhausted.

test_popen seems to have the same problem.
