paul j3 added the comment: I've copied 'dbldash.patch' over from http://bugs.python.org/issue13922. I mistakenly added it to a closed issue.
The patch is old, and should be revised. It is also missing tests for this '--opt=--' case, even though it solves it. I also reference this patch in http://bugs.python.org/issue9571, which tries to refine dbldash handling for PARSER, REMAINDER nargs. I'm raising the priority on this because the issue has a come up a couple of times on Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40685320/python-argparse-with-as-the-value ---------- keywords: +needs review priority: normal -> high versions: +Python 3.6, Python 3.7 -Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file45944/dbldash.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14364> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
