[issue15112] argparse: nargs='*' positional argument doesn't accept any items if preceded by an option and another positional

leonard gerard added the comment: It seems that delaying positional argument parsing after all optional arguments are parsed would be clean and robust. My understanding is that optional arguments aren't ambiguous and should be processed first and removed from the arguments. Then the current

[issue20093] Wrong OSError message from os.rename() when dst is a non-empty directory

New submission from Jason Gerard DeRose: Under Python 3.3, if renaming a directory with `os.rename()` when the destination is an existing, non-empty directory, like this: os.rename('/tmp/foo', '/tmp/bar') You'll get an OSError with a message like this: OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty

[issue16074] Bad error message in os.rename, os.link, and os.symlink

Jason Gerard DeRose added the comment: vajrasky, one more errno to consider: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/tmp/bar' This is when renaming a directory: src directory exists; dst directory exists and is non-empty. In 3.4 Beta1, this error message now includes the src instead of the dst

[issue11677] make test has horrendous performance on an ecryptfs

Jason Gerard DeRose jder...@novacut.com added the comment: Barry, I'm suspicious there might be more to the performance issue than just the ecryptfs overhead. While experimenting with a read benchmark, I just happened to notice that when reading from an ecryptfs filesystem, the CPU usage

[issue9334] argparse does not accept options taking arguments beginning with dash (regression from optparse)

Gerard van Helden dremel...@gmail.com added the comment: The reporter imho is 100% right. Simply because of the fact that in the current situation, there is no way to supply an argument starting with a dash (not even for instance a filename). That is, of course, total nonsense to be dictated
