mslex

mslex is a Python library that provides `shlex`-like functionality specifically tailored for Windows shell command-line parsing and quoting. It addresses the complex and often inconsistent behaviors of `cmd.exe`, `CommandLineToArgvW`, and older `msvcrt.dll` runtimes on Windows. The library offers `split`, `quote`, and `join` functions, making it easier to construct and deconstruct command lines for Windows environments. It is currently at version 1.3.0, released on October 16, 2024, and is considered stable and actively maintained for its niche use case.
