Keith Hughitt added the comment: Although it would be nice if the behavior were normalized between positional and optional args, it seems like doc patch would be the most straight-forward at this point. The down-side is that I suspect many people will assume the behavior for optional args, have it fail, and then consults the docs to see what happened.
I would suggest making the note pretty obvious or early on in the docs for argparse. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15125> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
