Python shouldn't care about spaces in names - however Linux does. When CD'ing or interacting with the terminal or Shell - you need to escape the space. This is because Linux uses the space command to separate input parameters.
For example if you type :
cd /usr/dave/ desktop/ project files
then cd command assumes that the space (between project and files) splits 2 different sets of parameters.
to rectify this you can escape the space using \
cd /usr/dave/ desktop/ project\ files
A write up of it (basic) can be found here : http:// www.tomshardwar e.co.uk/ forum/237724- 50-type- file-names- space-terminal.
Can you confirm that this is the issue?
