paul j3 added the comment: There are several problems with the patch provided in msg156315
This description: "Added patch so that only the first '--' is removed by an argparse.PARSE or argparse.REMAINDER argument." should read "Added patch so that only the first '--' is removed by arguments that are not argparse.PARSER or argparse.REMAINDER ." The test that adds a third subparser with a nargs='...' argument does not test this change. It exercises both nargs types that are not affected by the change in argparse.py. As such older versions of argparse pass this test. I thinking argparse.py change is correct (delete only the 1st '--'), though I'm not sure it addresses the concern of the original poster. ---------- nosy: +paul.j3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13922> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
