Xuanji Li <xua...@gmail.com> added the comment: I don't think it's best to create a new subclass to throw an ArgumentParserExit exception; if I read the stack trace I'd see that an ArgumentError was thrown, then caught, then an ArgumentParserExit was thrown, which IMHO is confusing. In the current design, parse_known_errors catches an ArgumentError and then exits. I propose that the user be optionally allowed to turn off the handling of ArgumentError and to handle it himself instead through an exit_on_argument_error flag.
Attached patch does this. Also I think this issue falls under component 'Lib' too. ---------- components: +Library (Lib) keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file21793/issue9938.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9938> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
