A command inside python it is. I am trying to fix an issue with wicd (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/wicd/+bug/145405) with static dns. It writes
/etc/resolv.conf after a connection is estabilished but everytime dhcpcd
renews a lease, /etc/resolv.conf is rewritten with information from the
dhcp server, which is not desirable in this case.

The command is something like this:

dhcpcd -h host --noipv4ll -S %s eth0 % ' '.join(dns)

where dns is an array of dns ips. I tried quoting "%s" and \"%s\" but none
worket.

Since you said it actually works, probably it is just my bad python skills.
I'll play a little more with it.

Thanks.

Leonardo.
