The Windows version has the same problem. I ran pvengine.exe from
a DOS prompt, passing it scene file names with spaces in the name
and I got the same sort of error message. I tried surrounding the
filename in quotes but that didn't solve the problem.

Attempting to run a scene file with one or more spaces in the name
in a Linux console does the same thing.

It's not Pyvon, it's POV-Ray. I still have MegaPOV (xmegapov) on
my system and it also has the same behavior. I don't know if it's
really that big of a deal that POV-Ray doesn't handle filenames
with spaces in it nicely on the commandline.

Maybe just place a note in your readme.txt file and/or on your
web site about this small issue with pov.
