couchapp push to url in single quotes with escaped characters fails

[podman]

Trying to push to a db when the password has characters that need to be escaped and using single quotes (e.g. couchapp push . 'http://admin:mypas\$@url:5984/play_data') will result in a httplib.IncompleteRead: [] error. (http://gist.github.com/190362)

Using double quotes (e.g. couchapp push . "http://admin:mypas\$@url:5984/play_data") , however, works.
