Ensure that the exec command properly handles arguments when using exec "$python" $extra_arg "$xpy" "$@". The problem with this approach is that $extra_arg is unquoted, which could cause issues if it contains spaces or other special characters, especially when passing the arguments to python. To fix this, the exec command should be properly quoted to prevent any such issues.

No, this is not needed because that is a local var which is only ever assigned "" or "-3", it does not accept arbitrary (user) input.

In fact the change proposed by the PR is just wrong -- if the variable is empty, we want no argument to be passed, but wrapping it in quotes means we would pass an empty argument instead!
