New submission from R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com>: In forward porting a patch to py3k I noticed that there is a 'g' option in the optparse argument list in regrtest in 2.x that is not present in 3.x. But the surprising thing was that there are no docs for this option, nor any option handler in the 2.x regrtest.
I propose to add an 'else' case to the option parsing loop that asks the user to report a bug if it is handed an unknown option. Patch attached. My one question is whether this might have been intentional for backward compatibility reasons: let -g be passed and ignore it silently. I'm guessing it was just a deletion oversight, though. ---------- components: Tests files: regrtest-detect-bad-option.patch keywords: patch, patch messages: 95249 nosy: pitrou, r.david.murray priority: low severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Add sanity-check else case to regrtest option parsing type: feature request versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15330/regrtest-detect-bad-option.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7324> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
