[issue41600] Expected behavior of argparse given quoted strings

[Vegard Stikbakke]

Vegard Stikbakke <vegard.stikbakke at gmail.com> added the comment:

It seems that I mixed up something in the post here. If the quoted string is `"--a=1 --b=2` as I said in the post, then the program will only complain about `b` missing. In this case, it sets `a` to be `1 --b=2`. Whereas if the quoted string is `"--a 1 --b 2"` (i.e. space and not `=` is used to separate), then it will say that both `a` and `b` are missing.
