python - docopt's argument dictionary flags show the value of their arguments instead of True/False -

i have docopt docstring in python program looks this:

""" program.py  usage:   program.py (-h | --help)   program.py --version   program.py word2vec directory [-u model] [-v]   program.py word2vec directory [-o outputmodel] [-v]   program.py tsneplot <model> <word> [-s <dest> <plotname>]  options:   -h --help               show screen.   --version               show version.   -o outputmodel          specify name of output model   -s <dest> <plotname>    specify destination folder , name of plot saved (for tsne command)   -u model                specify name of model update   -v                      verbose output  """ 

when try command

python program.py word2vec rootfolder -o outputmodel 

the output arguments dictionary of form

{'--help': false,  '--version': false,  '-o': 'outputmodel',  '-s': none,  '-u': none,  '-v': false,  '<model>': none,  '<plotname>': none,  '<word>': none,  'directory': 'rootfolder',  'tsneplot': false,  'word2vec': true} 

the problem on here instead of giving true value -o flag gives -o flag value should instead in outputmodel key. in other words -o flag gets value of argument , argument outputmodel's key absent. same happens when try commmand looks this:

 python program.py word2vec rootfolder -u updatedmodel 

the output dictionary :

   {'--help': false,  '--version': false,  '-o': none,  '-s': none,  '-u': 'updatedmodel',  '-v': false,  '<model>': none,  '<plotname>': none,  '<word>': none,  'directory': 'rootfolder',  'tsneplot': false,  'word2vec': true} 

the '-u' flag being assigned value of argument, , argument model (as shown in usage) absent.

and similar thing happens -s flag in command

program.py tsneplot <model> <word> [-s <dest> <plotname>] 

the -s flag gets value of <dest> argument, , <dest> argument's key absent in dictionary.

it working alright moments ago until made minor changes. have tried @ docstring , read documentation can't figure out wrong since did seem have specified option descriptions correctly. please me figure out issue?

you forgotten <...> signs around directory. try this:

""" program.py  usage:   program.py (-h | --help)   program.py --version   program.py word2vec <directory> [-u model] [-v]   program.py word2vec <directory> [-o outputmodel] [-v]   program.py tsneplot <model> <word> [-s <dest> <plotname>]  options:   -h --help               show screen.   --version               show version.   -o outputmodel          specify name of output model   -s <dest> <plotname>    specify destination folder , name of plot saved (for $   -u model                specify name of model update   -v                      verbose output """
