paul j3 added the comment: I believe http://bugs.python.org/issue14174 with REMAINDER has its roots in the same issue - parse_args tries to process as many positionals as it can at a time, regardless of what's left in the argument strings.
The fix proposed here depends on the 2nd argument taking 0 strings. REMAINDER, on the other hand, grabs everything that's left, leaving none for the optionals. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15112> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
