Handle spaces in argparse input

Question

Using python and argparse, the user could input a file name with -d as the flag.

parser.add_argument(\"-d\", \"--dmp\", default=None)

Howev

Answer 1

For those who can't parse arguments and still get "error: unrecognized arguments:" I found a workaround:

parser.add_argument('-d', '--dmp', nargs='+', ...)
opts = parser.parse_args()

and then when you want to use it just do

' '.join(opts.dmp)
