paul j3 added the comment: This patch removes only one '--', the one that put a '-' in the 'arg_strings_pattern'. It does this in 'consume_positionals' right before calling 'take_action'. As before it does not do this if nargs is PARSER or REMAINDER.
test_argparse.py has two DoubleDashRemoval cases, that attempt to highlight the changes from production (delete all --) and development (delete first -- in each positional group) versions. I have not made any changes to the documentation. All it says now is: "If you have positional arguments that must begin with - and don’t look like negative numbers, you can insert the pseudo-argument '--' which tells parse_args() that everything after that is a positional argument:" ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29845/dbldash.patch _______________________________________ 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
