Are you sure? Looking at the code, I see this:

  (python-shell-make-comint
      (or cmd (python-shell-calculate-command)) …)

And python-shell-make-comint does this:

  (split-string-and-unquote cmd)

(ok, this is weird).  But still, if the command is "C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe", then we *do* need the shell quoting, right?
