Don't quote the path to Python unless the path contains an embedded space.
Quoting the path doesn't work on Win2K (cmd.exe) regardless, this is just a hack to let the test pass again on Win2K (so long as Python isn't installed in a path that does contain an embedded space). On Win2K it looks like we'd also have to add a second pair of double quotes, around the entire command line.
