No, parameters like `type` let the developer control what his users provides. Violating that produces a runtime error, and exit. But in general argparse does not try to control values that the developer uses. There's plenty of time during development to catch error such as this - if they are errors at all. 'type' does not 'declare' what the attribute will be. It is a function that is applied to the input string, and converts that to something or other, or raises a TypeError. It is used only if there is a string value to work on, either from the user, or a string default. This is not a bug, so should be closed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41087> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
