root@python-stack-server:~# snmpsim-command-responder -h Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/snmpsim-command-responder", line 8, in sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/snmpsim/commands/responder.py", line 401, in main snmp_helper.print_usage(sys.stderr) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/argparse.py", line 2362, in print_usage self._print_message(self.format_usage(), file) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/argparse.py", line 2328, in format_usage return formatter.format_help() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/argparse.py", line 287, in format_help help = self._root_section.format_help() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/argparse.py", line 217, in format_help func(*args) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/argparse.py", line 338, in _format_usage assert ' '.join(opt_parts) == opt_usage AssertionError

some code in argparse.py: part_regexp = r'(.?)+|[.?]+|\S+' opt_usage = format(optionals, groups) pos_usage = format(positionals, groups) opt_parts = _re.findall(part_regexp, opt_usage) pos_parts = _re.findall(part_regexp, pos_usage)

error point : assert ' '.join(opt_parts) == opt_usage assert ' '.join(pos_parts) == pos_usage

reason:

the re "part_regexp " split args error when double "[[]]" in some string like "[--logging-method =<syslog|null|stderr|file|stdout[:args]>]]".
