You haven't demonstrated that it fails to resolve input errors. You have demonstrated a *feature*, not a bug: getopt will accept prefixes if they unambiguously match ONE long option only. If the prefix matches two or more options, then the prefix is ambiguous and getopt will not accept it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28171> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
