New submission from Ingo Fischer <fredistdurs...@googlemail.com>: I have an argument called '--verbose' in the main parser. Then I add a subparser called 'command', to which I add an argument with the same name '--verbose' (See attached script).
When I process these args, I cannot decide afterwards if the user called 'myscript --verbose command' or 'myscript command --verbose'. I always get the same Namespace object returned from parse_args. IMHO the Namespace object should also provide informations about the source parser, to make main parser args and subparser args distinguishable. Also if I call 'myscript --verbose command --verbose', I should get both args in the resulting Namespace object. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: argparsetest.py messages: 165248 nosy: Ingo.Fischer priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Argparse: main arguments and subparser arguments indistinguishable type: enhancement versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26356/argparsetest.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15327> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
