New submission from Leon Avery: In the argparse module, the argument '--' is interpreted as a signal that everything after it is a positional argument. '--' is literally written into the argparse code, in _parse_known_args. This means that a user who wishes to use '--' in some other way is out of luck.
I suggest the addition of an argument to __init__ (or a method call, or something) that allows '--' to be replaced with some string of the user's choice. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 298967 nosy: Leon Avery priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: suggestion: allow termination argument in argparse to be specified as argument type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31012> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
