New submission from Jakub Warmuz <jakub.warmuz+bugs.python....@gmail.com>:
Assuming following: 1. optional argument, say "--foo", in a subparser; 2. at least two different optional arguments in the main parser prefixed with "--foo", say "--foo1" and "--foo2"; parsing fails with "error: ambiguous option: --foo could match --foo1, --foo2". It seems like argument abbreviation mechanism described at http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html#argument-abbreviations is not working properly when in use with subparsers... ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: argparse_subparsers_ambiguous_bug.py messages: 156272 nosy: bethard, jakub priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: argparse: subparsers, argument abbreviations and ambiguous option type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24928/argparse_subparsers_ambiguous_bug.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14365> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
