This is not related to how getopt_long in C works with leading and trailing whitespace on long options, but is related to how command-line utility getopt parses a list of long options. My answer: if you don't want a space in your long_option, don't put a space in there. There is no a bug in Python, and the patch just complicates the code in attempt to fix one particular user error. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka resolution: -> not a bug _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27619> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
