"--" is not:-) They're unrelated. As others have mentioned, "--" is _extremely_ common; almost _all_ UNIX command like programmes which handle -* style options honour the "--" convention. _argparse_ itself honours that convention, as does getopt etc. The "--" convention has nothing to do with the shell.

Re: Custom help format for a choice argparse argument

if badopts: print(usage, file=sys.stderr) exit(2) ... work with infix as desired ... This: - avoids trying to shoehorn argparse into behaving in a way it was not designed for - avoids users needing to know the standard UNIX/POSIX "--" idiom for marking off the end of options - supports a -h or --help leading option Cheers, Cameron Simpson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
