[issue2304] subprocess under windows fails to quote properly when shell=True

[Weeble]

Weeble <clockworksaint at gmail.com> added the comment:

Is there any way to write code that's safe with or without this fix? If I have code that currently does this:

subprocess.check_call('""c:\some path with spaces" arg1 arg2 "a quoted arg""', shell=True)

...will it break when running on a version of Python with this fix? Is there any good way to detect whether the running Python has this fix or not?
