Description Vincent Untz 2007-11-12 21:53:09 UTC 
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 177295

  • File "./gnome-about", line 997 in ? 
    parser.parse_args ()
  • File "/gnome/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/option.py", line 339 in parse_args 
    args = args[2:-len(old_args)]
TypeError: len() of unsized object 

If you call parse_args() with no argument, args is None, and at the end of the function, there's this:
  args = args[2:-len(old_args)]
where old_args is None (because args was None). This is the source of the error.

	* gobject/option.py (OptionParser.parse_args): 
	Set the default value of old_args to 0, so we don't end
	up slicing with None. Fixes #496278 (Vincent Untz)
