Title:
  python-apt malforms source lines with multiple options

Status in “python-apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The str() method in SourceEntry class, has malforms the source line.

  Console out:

  Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2013, 06:20:15)
  [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from aptsources.sourceslist import SourceEntry
  >>> s = SourceEntry('deb [arch=amd64 trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10/ubuntu precise main')
  >>> s.str()
  'deb [arch=amd64] trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10/ubuntu precise main\n'

  Note the extra "]". This leads to apt-add-repository to malform some
  entries.

  Edit:

  The parsing itself is wrong.
