Created attachment 830154 [details] Test script to check whether pynotify touches sys.argv Description of problem: I would like to create a program that accepts a --name parameter using argparse. But when I import pynotify, it consumes "--name" from sys.argv Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: Use the testscript: $ DISPLAY=:0 LANG=C python test-pynotify-argv.py --name ['test-pynotify-argv.py', '--name'] (test-pynotify-argv.py:31340): Gtk-WARNING **: Missing argument for --name ['test-pynotify-argv.py', '--name'] $ DISPLAY=:0 LANG=C python test-pynotify-argv.py --name foo ['test-pynotify-argv.py', '--name', 'foo'] ['test-pynotify-argv.py'] Expected results: The sys.argv should not be touched by pynotify. Additional info: bug 1023398 might also be caused by pynotify.
There is a call to init_pygtk() as part of this module, and I notice that has the same effect (try replacing 'import pynotify' with 'import gtk' in the test script). This looks like it could be a pygtk2 bug.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This appears to still be present in F21, moving release.
