It is a 'standard' behaviour that a lone '--' terminates options. argparse
says:
If you have positional arguments that must begin with '-' and don’t look
like negative numbers, you can insert the pseudo-argument '--' which tells
parse_args that everything after that is a positional argument:
But it doesn't seem to work:
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument ('--submit', '-s', action='store_true')
parser.add_argument ('--list', '-l', action='store_true')
opt = parser.parse_args()
./queue --submit -- test1.py -n
usage: queue [-h] [--submit] [--list]
queue: error: unrecognized arguments: -- test1.py -n
