I failed today to print help message for base64 utility without an error: $ python3 -m base64 -help option -h not recognized usage: /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.2_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/base64.py [-d\|-e\|-u\|-t] [file\|-] -d, -u: decode -e: encode (default) -t: encode and decode string 'Aladdin:open sesame So I felt like this is a ripple in time space continuum worth adjusting. I already opened a PR to address this (probably not so worthy) issue (link attached).
