It's not completely clear why, but Python on Windows seems to need escaping for the double quotes " to work: e.g. st2 apikey create -m '{\"used_by\": \"bootcamptest\"}'. This isn't the case with echo. Also cmd.exe has different behaviour to string escaping compared to PowerShell, so some experimentation will be necessary depending on which shell is being used.

Thank you for the Feedback. I will make some research.
