Programming :: Ssh Remote Command Preserve Quoted Argument?

I have a python script on one server (serv_one) and I am trying to execute it remotely from another (serv_two). The python script takes an argument with spaces. If I execute it locally:

Code:

foo@serv_one> script.py --o "arg one"
"arg one" is preserved, of course. ( argv = [ '--o', 'arg one' ] )

However, when I execute it remotely:

Code:

foo@serv_two> ssh ... foo@serv_one script.py --o "arg one"

the double quotes around "arg one" are dismissed ( argv = [ '--o', 'arg', 'one' ]. I've tried many combinations of single quotes/double quotes/backslashes, etc, to no avail. One hack solution I came up with, since I have the flexibility, was to replace all spaces in the quoted argument with a character that would be invalid in the argument (before the ssh call), and replace those with spaces in script.py. I would probably like to avoid this solution if at all possible.
