[New-bugs-announce] [issue28409] test.regrtest does not support multiple -x flags

[Charalampos Stratakis]

New submission from Charalampos Stratakis:

Until python3.6.0a04 it was possible to pass multiple times the -x option at regrtest.

However since the 3.6.0b1 when trying the same thing I get an error. Test names are random.

python3 -m test.regrtest -x test_venv -x test_gdb
usage: python -m test [options] [test_name1 [test_name2 ...]]
python path/to/Lib/test/regrtest.py [options] [test_name1 [test_name2 ...]]
regrtest.py: error: unrecognized arguments: test_gdb

If however I omit the second -x, the tests run fine and correctly exclude the specific tests.

Was the change intentional or a side effect from something else?
