New submission from Mert Bora Alper:
Sorry if the title is not descriptive enough.
When I try to execute a program from a directory which contains an
`__main__.py` file, argparse fails to detect programs name. For example:
$ ls foo
__main__.py
$ python3 foo
usage: foo [-h] [-c COUNT] length
foo: error: the following arguments are required: length
$ python3 foo/
usage: [-h] [-c COUNT] length
: error: the following arguments are required: length
----
>>> argparse.__version__
'1.1'
I followed same steps using Python 2.7.6 and got same result. It will probably
be same on other versions too. Same result can also be obtained when using zip
files instead of directories.
I don't know if this is a bug since I don't know if I do something wrong or is
this a design decision or not.
Thank you,
Bora
