This is too big of an example for this board; I think it should have been asked on StackOverFlow. Or maybe trimmed do to a more compact example. But in any case, this is normal behavior for argparse. Type checking, here 'int', is done after the string is allocated to the '-s' argument. Reserving that string for the required positional requires a form of look ahead that argparse does not currently do. I think there's an old bug/issue on the topic, but the fix was, if I remember correctly, too complex to simply drop in. I may look that up later. ---------- nosy: +paul.j3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45673> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
