Martin Panter added the comment: My main concern with the patch is that it only half fixes the problem. It sounds like it will allow parsing “--opt -x” (if “-x” is not registered as an option), but will still refuse “--opt -h”, assuming “-h” is registered by default. What is the barrier to parsing an argument to the option syntax independently of what option names are registered?
Also the name “args_default_to_positional=True” name is both unwieldy and vague to me. The purpose seems to be to disable option-lookalike-strings from being reserved. Maybe call it something like “reserve_all_options=False” or “reserve_unregistered_options=False”? I left some thoughts in the code review for the documentation too. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter stage: needs patch -> patch review _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
