Currently if this var contains more than one word (like "gdb -args" or "perf record") a python traceback is spewed.

Comment on attachment 408904 [details] Patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=408904&action=review > Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/port/gtk.py:272 > + command = os.environ["WEBKIT_MINI_BROWSER_PREFIX"].split() + command Is there any reason to not use shlex.split() here? That would allow for specifying parameters in the environment variable which have themselves spaces, by carefully quoting things around. For example: WEBKIT_MINI_BROWSER_PREFIX="'/opt/dev tools v1/bin/gdb' --args" \ run-minibrowser […] Using a plain str.split() would completely prevent such usage. Not that I expect quoting of parameters inside the environment variable to be needed often, but it does not hurt to have our backs covered :)

In your example would the string with spaces inside need to be quoted again then to result in: ['"/opt/dev tools v1/bin/gdb"', '--args'] ¿
