Python module to shellquote/unshellquote? [duplicate]

Answer 1

The quotefunction is available for quite some time (Python 2.7?) -- the major drawback is it moved from pipe module to shlex between 3.2 and 3.3.

You have to be prepared to handle both cases while importing that function:

try:
    from shlex import quote
except ImportError:
    from pipes import quote
