As reported here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2016-July/711333.html there's a possible annoyance with getopt when you accidentally leave whitespace on a long option. On my Centos system, getopt ignores leading and trailing whitespace on long options. [steve@ando ~]$ getopt -o "" -l " spam , eggs " -- --spam --eggs arg --spam --eggs -- 'arg' Python's getopt should do the same. (Patch attached.)
