Hello,
Im using optparse and python 2.6 to parse some options, my commandline
looks like
prog [options] start|stop extra-args-i-will-pas-on
The options are --b --c --d
The extra options are varied are are passed onto another program e.g --
quiet --no-command , my program doesnt care what these are but instead
passes them onto another program.
I know these will always follow start|stop.
However optparse tries to process them and throws an exception - how
can i prevent this without placing all the extra-args in quotes.
Thank you
Saptarshi
Preprocess the sys.args before calling optparse.
Simply search sys.args for the string "start" and the string "stop", and
note whichever comes first. Then use slice operators to peel the extra
arguments off of sys.args.
