python - How to pass script parameters containing spaces or quotes to PyCharm? -

i can run (for command line)

myscript.py '--pm execute.shell(cmd="ls -l", noninteractive=true)'

but, suppose debug myscript.py , set "script parameters:" field in edit configurations python dialog to:

--pm execute.shell(cmd="ls -l", noninteractive=true)

it barfs @ space between "ls" , "-l". there way workaround this? using ' or " quotes seems not it:

--pm 'execute.shell(cmd="ls -l", noninteractive=true)' --pm "execute.shell(cmd='ls -l', noninteractive=true)"

in both cases, quotes end in arguments.

update: running:

import sys x in sys.argv:     print "<%s>"%(x,)

with

script parameters:  \ b " c" "\ d" ' e' '\ f' "a 'b' \"c\""

gives:

<cmd.py> <a> <\> <b> < c> <\ d> <'> <e'> <'\> <f'> <a 'b' "c">

so looks like:

so, magic answer is:

script parameters:  --pm "execute.shell(cmd='ls -l', noninteractive=true)"

script parameters:  --pm "execute.shell(cmd=\"ls -l\", noninteractive=true)"

i not 100% sure issue. since don't have commenting privileges, writing answer.

changing "ls -l" "ls-\ l" should work, @ least on *nix systems.

the relevant documentation/bug report @ https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/py-4715 , https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/idea-72632 states need escape spaces using system dependent methods, , not using generic method. proposal generic system independent method apparently denied.

edit: --pm" "execute.shell(cmd=\"ls" "-l\"," "noninteractive=true) worked.
