+
+ This function parses a command and split it into a list of parameters. It
+ has a similar to bash commandline parser. Spaces are the basic token
+ separator but you can group several tokens into one by using (single or
+ double) quotes. You can escape the quotes with a backslash (\' and \"),
+ express a backslash literal using a double backslash (\\), use special
+ meaning escaped sequences (like \a, \n, \r, \b, \v) and use unescaped
+ single quotes inside a double quoted token or vice-versa.
+
+ Additionally it accepts keyword arguments. When an (not-escaped) equal
+ sign (=) is found, the argument is considered a keyword, and the next
+ argument it's interpreted as its value.
+
+ This function returns a tuple containing a list and a dictionary. The
+ first has the positional arguments, the second, the keyword arguments.
+
+ There is no restriction about the order, a keyword argument can be
+ followed by a positional argument and vice-versa. All type of arguments
+ are grouped in the list/dict returned. The order of the positional
+ arguments is preserved and if there are multiple keyword arguments with
+ the same key, the last value is the winner (all other values are lost).
+
+ Examples:
+
+ >>> parse_command('hello world')
+ ([u'hello', u'world'], {})
+ >>> parse_command('hello planet=earth')
+ ([u'hello'], {u'planet': u'earth'})
+ >>> parse_command('hello planet="third rock from the sun"')
+ ([u'hello'], {u'planet': u'third rock from the sun'})
+ >>> parse_command(u' planet="third rock from the sun" hello ')
+ ([u'hello'], {u'planet': u'third rock from the sun'})
+ >>> parse_command(u' planet="third rock from the sun" "hi, hello"'
+ '"how are you" ')
+ ([u'hi, hello', u'how are you'], {u'planet': u'third rock from the sun'})
+ >>> parse_command(u'one two three "fourth number"=four')
+ ([u'one', u'two', u'three'], {u'fourth number': u'four'})
+ >>> parse_command(u'one two three "fourth number=four"')
