tumbolandia:cpython maker$ python foo.py --test=-- foo [] tumbolandia:cpython maker$ python foo.py --test -- foo usage: foo.py [-h] [-t TEST] [yuri] foo.py: error: argument -t/--test: expected 1 argument(s) The same is for single-dash arguments. tumbolandia:cpython maker$ python foo.py -t -- foo usage: foo.py [-h] [-t TEST] [yuri] foo.py: error: argument -t/--test: expected 1 argument(s) tumbolandia:cpython maker$ python foo.py -t-- foo [] Obviously argparse should return an error in both cases. The bug is probably due to Lib/argparser.py:2211 ---------- files: foo.py messages: 156254 nosy: maker priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Argparse incorrectly handles '--' versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24926/foo.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14364> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
