Bug description:
#!/bin/python -q -i
I was writing an unrelated post about shebang lines tricks+tips, and happened to pick python as an example, only to discover some weird behavior. The above gets parsed as /bin/python "-q -i" <path/to/script>
But the message python prints is quite confusing:
Unknown option: -
usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Try `python -h' for more information.
What's happening is that the "unknown option" is a single space, being parsed as a short-form option, and printed. But the output is pretty opaque, since the space is not quoted, and it's just a trailing invisible space.
Aside: Several other invalid one-byte options like \n get printed wrongly. This doesn't seem worth fixing.
Proposed fix:
I think the shebang case happens to users often enough that it would be good to have some kind of better error message if a short-form options list contains either of
-(this would require scanning ahead!), which either indicates some quoting problem, or an incorrect long-form option (-check-hash-based-pycsrather than--check-hash-based-pycs).
I think a good error message could be unknown option: -q -i or unknown option: "-q -i". Quoting the argument when it contains a space seems clearer to me.
The current long-form options have pretty clear error messages either way, mostly by happenstance.
Currently, -help-* parses as -h which then prints help, stopping option parsing. I have no strong opinion about whether that behavior is better or worse than printing an error message.

研究方向
重現所回報的 shebang 呼叫 /bin/python -q -i,並檢查 CPython 的命令列選項解析與錯誤回報進入點。聚焦於加上引號的選項字串如何變成短格式選項,接著驗證產生的診斷資訊能明確識別無效引數,同時不變更其他無關的無效單位元組選項行為。
