New submission from SilentGhost <michael.mischurow+...@gmail.com>: the following >>> getopt.getopt('--testing=dr'.split(), '', ['testing'])[0]
would raise 'option --testing must not have an argument'. Documentation reads, however: "Long options which require an argument should be followed by an equal sign ('=')." Which is equivalent to "options that don't require an argument, should not be followed by the equal sign". The fact that in my example argument is not required does not mean that argument cannot be passed. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 93033 nosy: SilentGhost, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: Getopt documentation ambiguity versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6977> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
