I have an issue with the assumption that if all parameters are forced to be prepended by -- instead of only one dash, that you would then convert the -- to a single dash and have issues with single-dashed strings, when all other parameters are dual-dashed. This is especially crazy if the user specifies that prefix_chars="--" when creating the parser! You wouldn't mix up ** with * just because it's a two char string, so why do this for -- in this day and age when parameters can take on very different and complicated structures?! ---------- nosy: +fennec15 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue9334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
