Cool. Based on this thread and an experiment I tried, some obvious (to me) things come to mind:

* get_token() needs to be fixed to handle the 'bar'asd'foo' case

* the shlex class should handle strings as input, not just file-like
  objects

* get_word() or get_words() methods in the shlex class could implement
  the shellwords functionality
