[Bug 1287778] Python PMAPI pmNonOptionsFromList cryptic error message

[bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxx]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1287778



--- Comment #1 from Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
Looking at the code, I think the problem is that pmGetOptions must be called
before pmGetNonOptions[...] - because it uses optind and hence getopt state
from that earlier call.

Because pmrep is using the all-at-once parse-arguments-and-create-context
interface - i.e. .fromOptions() - that cannot happen in the right order by
definition.

However, pmrep could just call the pmContext constructor directly - see the
fromOptions code around line 1068 of src/python/pcp/pmapi.py for what happens
now.

cheers.
