This is all working as designed. We do not want to modify argparse to split parameters. You probably want to split the input with shlex.split(). See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44945815/how-to-split-a-string-into-command-line-arguments-like-the-shell-in-python You shouldn't need to mutate sys.argv. You can break the input up into multiple strings with shlex.split() (or whatever you decide to use) and pass those to ArgumentParser.parse_args(). ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41600> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
