The issue with non-string arguments (e.g. float or integers) was reported by by
Sebastian Bassi (Bug 2538) and has since been fixed in CVS - sadly this was
after the release of Biopython 1.47.

As you've demonstrated there are valid reasons to want to include spaces.  I
would rather not add a check which requires lots of special casing.

I'm leaving this bug open to consider extending _security_check_parameters() to
prevent the use of pipes and redirection (i.e. "|", "<" and ">") which sounds
reasonable.  A third opinion wouldn't hurt of course!
