This PR originates from the issue related to my recent PR to
octave_kernel[Re: space in the octave executable path in Windows].This PR contains two commits:
e800dca: This commit adds
argslist argument to theREPLWrapperconstructor so it can be passed down tospawn. A test method has also been added totest_replwrap.py.303f2fd:
pty_spawnand non-pty_spawncodepaths currently handlescommandandargsdifferently. This commit makes the non-ptypath to be comparable to thepty_spawnimplementation. That is,commandis only split only ifargsis not provided.These two mechanisms are essential to allow an octave executable path with spaces to run in Windows. If this PR is accepted, I will create another PR in
octave_kernelto finish resolving the issue.Thanks
