Context

I'm trying to run:

zappa manage production 'shell -c "from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; get_user_model().objects.create_superuser(username=\"admin\", password=\"changeme\")"'

Expected Behavior

It will invoke a command that is equivalent to:

manage.py shell -c "from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; get_user_model().objects.create_superuser(username=\"admin\", password=\"changeme\")"

Actual Behavior

[START] RequestId: edf0eeda-879e-41ca-8595-e51a0adaee17 Version: $LATEST
[ERROR] CommandError: Error: unrecognized arguments: django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; get_user_model().objects.create_superuser(username="admin", password="changeme")\'

Possible Fix

I suspect the issue is here:

The code is simply splitting arguments by spaces where shlex.split might be more appropriate.

>>> manage = 'shell -c "from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; get_user_model().objects.create_superuser(username=\\"admin\\", password=\\"changeme\\")"'
>>> manage.split(" ")
['shell', '-c', '"from', 'django.contrib.auth', 'import', 'get_user_model;', 'get_user_model().objects.create_superuser(username=\\"admin\\",', 'password=\\"changeme\\")"']
>>> import shlex
>>> shlex.split(manage)
['shell', '-c', 'from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; get_user_model().objects.create_superuser(username="admin", password="changeme")']
