Strange, I cannot reproduce this.  Can you step with Edebug through
python-shell-parse-command and see where does this "c\\" prefix gets
added?  If that happens in the call to shell-quote-argument, then
please tell what value does this display:

  M-: (w32-shell-dos-semantics) RET

If this says "nil", then what is the value of (w32-shell-name)?
