Martin Panter added the comment: It's not clear what you expected the behaviour to be. A function cannot both raise an exception and return a value.
In any case, you are correct in saying "the next option, '-d', is taken as the argument." I do not think this is a bug. See <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getopt.html> for the Posix specification of "getopt". Perhaps you are confused by a bug or quirk of "argparse", where it treats most CLI arguments that begin with a dash specially, even if according to Posix they would be associated with an option. See Issue 9334. ---------- components: +Library (Lib) -Extension Modules nosy: +martin.panter resolution: -> not a bug _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29681> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
