If we run below python command
print subprocess.Popen([r'c:\test.bat', 
r'test"string:']).pid
Actually c:\test.bat test\"string\" is executed.
Module subprocess doesn't interpret double quotation 
mark right. Back slash shouldn't be added.

I believe problem is in function 
subprocess.list2cmdline.

As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with
subprocess.list2cmdline. Take a look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccelng/htm/progs_12.asp.
There, you will find:

ab"c

which corresponds to:

"ab\"c"

In other words: a backslash should be added when converting
from an argument to a string. Or do you intepret the MS web
page differently?

No response from reporter, we confirm to the MS documentation as far as I can tell.
