[issue15112] argparse: nargs='*' positional argument doesn't accept any items if preceded by an option and another positional

leonard gerard added the comment: It seems that delaying positional argument parsing after all optional arguments are parsed would be clean and robust. My understanding is that optional arguments aren't ambiguous and should be processed first and removed from the arguments. Then the cu

[issue16074] Bad error message in os.rename, os.link, and os.symlink

Jason Gerard DeRose added the comment: vajrasky, one more errno to consider: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/tmp/bar' This is when renaming a directory: src directory exists; dst directory exists and is non-empty. In 3.4 Beta1, this error message now includes the src instead

[issue11677] make test has horrendous performance on an ecryptfs

Jason Gerard DeRose added the comment: Barry, I'm suspicious there might be more to the performance issue than just the ecryptfs overhead. While experimenting with a read benchmark, I just happened to notice that when reading from an ecryptfs filesystem, the CPU usage is unusually hi

[issue9334] argparse does not accept options taking arguments beginning with dash (regression from optparse)

Gerard van Helden added the comment: The reporter imho is 100% right. Simply because of the fact that in the current situation, there is no way to supply an argument starting with a dash (not even for instance a filename). That is, of course, total nonsense to be dictated by the parser

Gerard added the comment: Bobby, Can you post the actual text you need this for? The back ref indeed returns a None. I'm wondering if the regex can be be simplefied and if a positive lookbehind could solve this. Symantically speaking ... If there's a "b" then return the &
