Hi there. I have a library.json which includes a "scripts": "postinstall" pointing to a Python script.
My copy of Python is installed in C:\Program Files\Python39; when PlatformIO is installed it creates a virtual environment and appears to run correctly (see bottom of this post). However, when Platform IO calls the posinstall script from library.json it uses the full Python path, unquoted, which of course fails:
'c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Am I doing something wrong here, or are spaces not supported in the path to Python?
