inquirer.Editor crashes when $EDITOR has arguments

[23Skidoo]

I have $EDITOR set to emacsclient -t -a zile, which makes inquirer.Editor crash when trying to open the editor:

>>> import inquirer
>>> inquirer.prompt([inquirer.Editor("question")])
[?] : Press <enter> to launch your editor
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'emacsclient -t -a zile'

Starting python with EDITOR=zile python3 fixes this.

Appears to be a (known) issue with the python-editor package: https://github.com/fmoo/python-editor/issues/11.
