It seems the argv form is passed directly to docopt as a string with no tokenizing, breaking double quoted arguments. An example here.

Maybe wrap this in shlex.split or something similar?

@mikebryant
Use shlex to tokenize the input string. Fixes docopt#3
2d7704f 
Allow the use of quoted arguments, e.g.
```
Usage:
  test <arg1> <arg2>
```
with the input `a "b c d"`

If tokenization fails, fall back to the original behaviour
