Description

When attempting to pass the option in through the Script options view ("program arguments") as follows:

```
-c "reboot -f"
```

I receive the error below. This same error occurs when attempting to pass in single quotes.

```
error: unrecognized arguments: -f"
```

My script is using Python's `argparse` library like so:

```
parser.add_argument("-c", "--command", type=str, help="action")
```

From the command line the script works as expected:

```
python3.4 script.py -c 'reboot -f'
```
