Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Raghuram Devarakonda (draghuram) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: optparse "store" action should not gobble up next option Initial Comment: Hi, Check the following code: --------------opttest.py---------- from optparse import OptionParser def process_options(): global options, args, parser parser = OptionParser() parser.add_option("--test", action="store_true") parser.add_option("-m", metavar="COMMENT", dest="comment", default=None) (options, args) = parser.parse_args() return process_options() print "comment (%r)" % options.comment --------------------- $ ./opttest.py -m --test comment ('--test') I was expecting this to give an error as "--test" is an option. But it looks like even C library's getopt() behaves similarly. It will be nice if optparse can report error in this case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Raghuram Devarakonda (draghuram) Date: 2007-01-05 10:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=984087 Originator: YES I am attaching the code fragment as a file since the indentation got all messed up in the original post.
