Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Thank you for the 'positive lookbehind assertion' for anchoring the match after '('. That is what I was missing. '[^,]' is too broad as, in particular, it matches the ')' in 'a(self)'. We don't want the ')' removed. The tests passed with a faulty re because t

[issue15125] argparse: positional arguments containing - in name not handled well

Éric Araujo added the comment: Isn’t the obvious workaround to pass a dest argument which is a valid identifier? add_argument('spam-eggs', dest='spam_eggs') Maybe argparse in 3.4 could do this transformation automatically (see how namedtuple converts anything to valid identifiers).

[issue13532] In IDLE, sys.stdout and sys.stderr can write any pickleable object

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: The patch (to my production Idle, with name fix) prevents crashing and raises an error instead when an object *can* be pickled, so I will apply before 3.3 if no problems appear and we cannot do better. But written objects are still pickled, so sys.stdout.writ

[issue15302] Use argparse instead of getopt in test.regrtest

New submission from Chris Jerdonek : I think it would be an improvement to switch from using getopt to argparse in test.regrtest. The code would be easier to maintain, it would give us more powerful options going forward, and it would improve the usability of the test command (e.g. nicer comm
