[issue1109659] distutils argument parsing is bogus

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

Given the current status of distutils (mostly used as a base for setuptools, 
and maybe soon removed from stdlib), I am closing this.

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

Being able to write a global option after a command name seems a nice feature 
to me, and the implementation should be straightforward: The base Command class 
already adds some options like help to each subclass, it’s just a matter of 
adding verbose, quiet and dry-run and adapting distribution.

no-user-cfg would have to be special-cased: Giving this option to one command  
would just pass it to the Distribution instance. Supporting per-command 
no-user-cfg would be overly complicated and not really useful.

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

“Global option” could be understood as “option that can be given to any 
command”, i.e. “egg spam -d” == “egg -d spam”. Is it feasible to support such 
and equivalence, too difficult or not desirable?

Regards

yes, that's the expected behavior

*But* we could add a warning, that says that an option was unused.

Akira Kitada akit...@gmail.com added the comment:

Here's the usage of setup.py

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

and '--dry-run' is a global option.
So it looks like valid behavior for me.
