For the record I am on board with a shlex.join. Even though the implementation is simple: - It is not obvious to many users if there are any "gotchas" by doing a ' '.join yourself, /even if/ you know that strings with spaces in them need to pass through shlex.quote first. - The symmetry of shlex.split and shlex.join is obvious - I don't need to read any documentation to know that they are inverse operations. - "batteries included," "one obvious way," and all that.
