os.environ doesn't escape spaces, but does backslashes and others

In the windows python interpreter I echo'd the variable 'ProgramFiles',
then in the commandprompt.

>>> from os import environ
>>> environ['ProgramFiles']
'C:\\Program Files'
>>> ^Z

[C:\]echo %ProgramFiles%
C:\Program Files

This 'half' escapping seems odd, and is annoying when building file
paths for instance, probably the space should also be escaped.
