Quote $PYTHON variable to support paths with spaces

This is done to allow escape sequences in the key and value strings.

@@ -65,12 +65,18 @@ As mercurial appears to be much less picky about the syntax of the
 author information than git, an author mapping file can be given to
 hg-fast-export to fix up malformed author strings. The file is
 specified using the -A option. The file should contain lines of the
-form `FromAuthor=ToAuthor`. The example authors.map below will
-translate `User <garbage<user@example.com>` to `User <user@example.com>`.
+form `"<key>"="<value>"`. Inside the key and value strings, all escape
+sequences understood by the python `string_escape` encoding are
+supported. (Versions of fast-export prior to v171002 had a different
+syntax, the old syntax can be enabled by the flag
+`--mappings-are-raw`.)
