422 Could not parse: Unknown operator ")"

[Tigenzero]

When trying to query a defect from Rally, I received this error (in the title).
I managed to do testing and determine the issue.
This is the code: rally.get('Defect', fetch=True, query='Name="value"')

The Behavior as I saw it is this:
Pyral cannot handle queries that have the equal sign next to the name of the field. There has to be a space in between the field name and the equal sign.
Example:
query='Name = "value"' - does not throw the error because there are spaces between Name, the equal sign, and "value"
query='Name="value"' - throws the error because there are no spaces

Please fix or place better responses as this will impact any new users.

Do it like this and test it:

query_c = "Name = Value"
response = rally.get('Defect', fetch=True, query=query_c)

Given that the error response is from the Rally WSAPI which will accept query criteria that is supplied (in quasi BNF form..) as [attribute_specifier] [whitespace] [relation_operator] [whitespace] [condition_expression], I'm inclined to classify this as 'not a defect' and also not an enhancement. The upside is that using the supported existing syntax also makes your code more readable :-)
