Steven Bethard added the comment: @gcbirzan: Could you please open up a new issue? The current issue is fixed - it's just that the fix caused a new issue.
I would say that the `args` parameter was never intended to be anything but a list, so currently there's a documentation bug since that isn't stated explicitly anywhere. (But certainly the tests only test for lists, not any other sequences.) Adding support for stuff other than lists feels more like a feature request, but given that it apparently worked by accident before, I guess we need to treat it as a bug. Probably the fix for that bug needs to have a ton of tests that check whether tuples work in all the various ways that parse_args is used. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13922> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
