rst.el does not handle spaces in filenames correctly

Your patch doesn't cope with other special characters like ", ` or $.
The correct solution would be to use shell-quote-argument.

Jakub,

Indeed, my solution was too simplistic. I attached a better patch, using shell-quote-argument (thanks for the pointer!)

This bug was fixed in the package python-docutils - 0.6-4

---------------
python-docutils (0.6-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bump standards version to 3.8.4 (no changes needed).
  * Bump debhelper compatibility level to 7 (no changes needed). Update
    versioned build-dependency on debhelper accordingly.
  * Use unversioned build-dependency on python-setuptools, as the requested
    version is available even in oldstable.
  * Update my e-mail address.
  * Drop build-dependency on xsltproc; it's no longer used.
  * Run tests at build time:
    + Modify debian/rules accordingly.
    + Build-depend on python-all.
    + Apply patch from upstream (alltests-exitcode.diff) to make test suite
      runner exit with code 0 if all test passes.
  * Emacs major mode: properly quote arguments passed to shell
    (closes: #581522, LP: #579252).
  * Install HISTORY.txt as the upstream changelog.
