vars-file error #1
Description
After a clean pip install of python-packer (which is pretty neat by the by), I noticed that validating json would fail when using a var-file. Packer is actually looking for -var-file, rather than -vars-file.

p = packer.Pack(packerfile, exc=exc, vars_file=vars_file, exec_path=packer_exec_path)

RAN: '/opt/packer/packer validate -vars-file=/home/prata/code/packer/environment/kuei-jin.json /home/prata/code/packer/templates/webserver.json'
Options:
-syntax-only Only check syntax. Do not verify config of the template.
-except=foo,bar,baz Validate all builds other than these
-only=foo,bar,baz Validate only these builds
-var 'key=value' Variable for templates, can be used multiple times.
-var-file=path JSON file containing user variables.
I removed the Usage info and just copied the Options section from the error. Below is my version of packer being used.
[prata@kusanagi packer]$ /opt/packer/packer version
Packer v0.7.5
