R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Optparse left you to parse the arguments:
>>> import optparse >>> p = optparse.OptionParser() >>> p.add_option('--test', action="store_true") <Option at 0x96521bc: --test> >>> p.parse_args(['--test', 'foo', '--', 'foo2']) (<Values at 0x97020a4: {'test': True}>, ['foo', 'foo2']) As you can see, the 'foo' before the '--' is one of the returned arguments. So argparse is behaving exactly the same way as optparse in this instance, except that, as I said, it is *parsing* the arguments. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9077> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
