Walter Mundt <waltermu...@codethink.info> added the comment: Attached is a patch to fix this bug by deferring matching of nargs='*' argument against a zero-length pattern until the end of the arguments list.
I believe that it ought to be maximally conservative in that it should not change the behavior of any existing parsers except in cases where it allows them to accept arguments they would previously have left unrecognized in cases like the test in the initial report. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26097/argparse_fix_empty_nargs_star.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15112> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
