New submission from Warren Turkal <w...@penguintechs.org>: I have a program that runs something like the following: $ hack run -- :target --arg1 --arg2 arg3 arg4
This basically runs a program identified by :target with the args. However, I cannot pass "--" to the program. For example, if I type: $ hack run -- :hack run -- :target clean --help the second "--" is swallowed by the parser, and I get an the help for "hack run" instead of instead of "hack clean". The run subcommand just does the following: all_args = [target.bin_path] + args.args os.execv(target.bin_path, all_args) However, the first hack run has the following list for args: args = Namespace(args=['run', ':hack', 'clean', '--help'], func=<function do_run at 0x19c3e60>, target=':hack') Where is the second "--"? I would have expected the args list to be: args=['run', '--', ':hack', 'clean', '--help'] About the python version, I am using python 2.6. However, I am using the latest release of argparse from [1] and am assuming that it's very similar code.
