How to escape os.system() calls in Python?

Is there a Python method of making filenames safe (ie. putting \ infront of spaces and escaping ( , ), symbols) programatically in Python?

---

Spaces are already "safe" for Python in open(). As for os.system() and similar functions, use subprocess instead.

>>> import pipes
>>> pipes.quote("\&*!")
"'\\&*!'"
