But it's bash that has those issues, not the OS.

If it's an issue for you on Linux, you can always run a python shell and spawn your process there. On Windows you can't.

It's a bash programmer issue, not a bash issue.

If you want spaces to be unparsed in parameters, you "quote" the parameter.

  A="spaces in the argument"
  touch "$A"
  ls -l

   total 0
