Eric V. Smith added the comment: Evgeny: I completely agree. It's unfortunate that argparse doesn't work that way.
However, I think it's too late to change this behavior without adding a new parser. I don't think existing argparse can be changed to not operate the way it does, due to backward compatibility concerns. The discussion in this issue describes those compatibility concerns. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
