Multiple values in result dict from ellipsis

[tomschr]

Consider the following little program:

"""
usage:
    program -h | --help
    program --version
    program [-v]...
            [-p=<x> | --param=<x>]...
            [--]
            <file>
            [<output>]

Global options:
    --version
        show program version
    -v  raise verbosity

  Input options:
    -p=<x> --param=<x>
        specifies profiling attributes

  Arguments:
    <file>
        input file
    <output>
        optional; save file to output
"""
from docopt import docopt

if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli = docopt(__doc__,
                 help=True,
                 version='doctest version 0.1.0',
                 )
    print(cli)

When I call it with the following options, I'll get:

$ program.py -p 12  foo
{'--': False,
 '--help': False,
 '--param': ['12'],
 '--version': False,
 '-h': False,
 '-v': 0,
 '<file>': 'foo',
 '<output>': None}

However, when I use an additional -p option, I get this:

$ program.py -p 12 -p 42  foo
{'--': False,
 '--help': False,
 '--param': ['12', '42', '42'], # <<< (!)
 '--version': False,
 '-h': False,
 '-v': 0,
 '<file>': 'foo',
 '<output>': None}

This is strange. I would have expected to get a list of ['12', '42'] and not ['12', '42', '42']. I get the same result when I use --param instead of -p.

Maybe I miss something obvious? Any idea? Thanks for reading.

Using docopt 0.6.2 with Python 3.4.1

[mklemm2]

I've got the same problem with docopt 0.6.2 on python 2.7.11:

Usage:
  winrm-client [options] (--hop=<hostname> (--auth=basic --user=<user> --passwd=<password>|--auth=ntlm --user=<user> --passwd=<password>|--auth=kerberos --realm=<realm> --keytab=<keytab>|--auth=certificates --certificate=<certifcate> --keyfile=<keyfile>) [--nossl])... --interpreter=<interpreter> <scriptfile>

winrm-client.py --hop=jump.example.dev --auth=ntlm --user=user1 --passwd=passwd1 --hop=target.example.dev --auth=basic --user=user2 --passwd=passwd2 --interpreter=powershell script.ps1

{'--auth': ['ntlm', 'basic', 'basic', 'basic', 'basic'],    <<<---- three too many!
 '--certificate': [],
 '--hop': ['jump.example.dev', 'target.example.dev'],
 '--interpreter': 'powershell',
 '--keyfile': [],
 '--keytab': [],
 '--nossl': 0,
 '--passwd': ['passwd1', 'passwd2', 'passwd2'],    <<<---- one too many!
 '--realm': [],
 '--user': ['user1', 'user2', 'user2'],
 '<scriptfile>': 'script.ps1'}
