Haha. Yes a nice exercise, but has nothing to do with the original question which is how to convince argparse to accept a string like that without thinking it's a switch. Many unix utilities treat "--" as a special argument that turns off argument parsing for the rest of the command line. Maybe argparse follows this convention too; I don't know. But if it did you'd do: infix2postfix.py -- "-4^2+5.3*abs(-2-1)/2" -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
