[issue9563] bad exception handling when giving no value to an option requiring one

[Gwendal LE BIHAN]

New submission from Gwendal LE BIHAN :

Having created the parser this way:

optparser=OptionParser()
optparser.add_option("--share-dir",dest="share_dir",default="/usr/share")
options,args=optparser.parse_args()

And calling the program this way:

appname --share-dir

I get the following exception, which is not caught:

options,args=optparser.parse_args()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/optparse.py", line 1394, in parse_args
stop = self._process_args(largs, rargs, values)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/optparse.py", line 1434, in _process_args
self._process_long_opt(rargs, values)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/optparse.py", line 1509, in _process_long_opt
option.process(opt, value, values, self)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'value' referenced before assignment

Gwendal LE BIHAN  added the comment:

I confirm. Fixed in Python 2.7.
I didn't have Python 2.7 installed since it's not in the Ubuntu repository yet.
