Title: Re: [Devstackpy] execute_template() shell argument

Sure,

It seemed liked it stopped python from escaping some of the mysql commands, like the stuff inside quotes.

If your change doesn’t need that then might as well remove it.

That's causing some confusion with the db commands like grant_all, since the commands have some funky quote escaping. Is there any reason to parse that command line, substitute values in the individual parts, then re-assemble it to a single big string before executing it? I could either skip the parsing, or skip the reassembly, but I wasn't sure why it ended up the way it is now so I wasn't sure which way to go.
