Yeah I saw that shlex object behavior is slighty different from 
shlex.split()
fonction. the char minus by default is taken as a individual word and in 
split
it is not. get_token() method return '-' alone and you have to set 
object attributes
wordchars += '-' to have the same behavior as shlex.split().
