New submission from Alan Evangelista: If you have a argument named --<prefix> in a subparser and two arguments named --<prefix><any_suffix)> in the main parser and call the Python executable with
python <script.py> --<prefix> argparse fails with: error: ambiguous option: --<prefix> could match --<prefix><suffix1>, --<prefix><suffix2> This probably happens due to how the argument abbreviation parsing is implemented. Is it possible to support disabling argument abbreviation in Python 2.7, as it is done in Python 3? ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 289327 nosy: Alan Evangelista priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: argparse arguments in main parser hide an argument in subparser versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29777> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
