Er, obviously positional arguments before the first ‘--’ can’t begin with a dash (I don’t think there’s any confusion over how those should work). arguments = *(non-dash-positional-argument / option) ["--" *(positional-argument)] non-dash-positional-argument = <string not beginning with "-"> positional-argument = string The point was just that the grammar unambiguously allows the argument of --foo to be any string. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
