I am invoking a python script with QProcess. I have found that if the
script tries to open a file that has spaces in the path, no error is
thrown, but the file always appears to have 0 length. The same script
with the same file with spaces in the path invoked from the command
line works fine. Note that this has nothing to do with argument
passing from the C++ code to the script via QProcess - the file path
name is hardcoded in the script. If the file has no spaces in its path
it is opened fine. I have tied escaping the spaces with \ but no joy.
Anyone know why this would be happening and know a way around this?

QProcess() as I recall, parses the string and assumes space to mark the end
of a command and start of the parameter list. Ran into this on Linux as
well. You need an extra set of quotes (or some other kind of delimiter) in
the command to stop QProcess() from "helping you out."
No parameters are being passed to QProcess. Its start method is being
called with:

("/usr/bin/python2.7", "myscript.py")

The path of the file being opened is hard coded in the python script.
