New submission from Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com>:
To me, "all positional parameters" mean whether they are in the front, back or
middle, as long as they are not diriectly preceded by an option that can accept
an unlimited number of parameters.
from argparse import ArgumentParser, SUPPRESS, REMAINDER
import sys
print( sys.version )
parser = ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--foo', dest='foo')
parser.add_argument('--bar', dest='bar')
parser.add_argument('baz', nargs='*')
print( parser.parse_args('a b --foo x --bar 1 c d'.split()))
# expected: Namespace(bar='1', baz=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], foo='x')
# actual: error: unrecognized arguments: c d
Above also supplied as a test file, t12.py
