[New-bugs-announce] [issue22642] trace module: unclear error message

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola':

$ python3.4 -m trace -l 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 170, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/trace.py", line 858, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/trace.py", line 787, in main
    progname = prog_argv[0]
IndexError: list index out of range


I would expect something more clear to be printed, like the program usage helper you get in this case:

$ python3.4 -m trace 
/usr/local/lib/python3.4/trace.py: must specify one of --trace, --count, --report, --listfuncs, or --trackcalls
