The simplest way I found to parse a string accepting words separated by <space> and grouping togetther words inside quotes. Does not support nested quotes... yet...
Raw
parse_quoted_strings
from pyparsing import printable,quotedString,Word,OneOrMore
#text = 'words out of quotes "words inside quotes" more words out "and more words in"'
frase=OneOrMore(Word(printable) | quotedString)

I was using Word(alphanums) but replaced alphanums with printable because quotedString accepts all kind of crap making Word(printable) a bit more close to what quotedString accepts.
