re.match expecting a string but getting a list

[Olivier-Berg]

in handle_when_file

matches = re.match(
        r"^([~?\.\/\w].*)\/(\w+\.pyw?)$|^(\w+\.pyw?)$", args.path
)

args.path is an instance of a list not a string. This causes len8 to no longer work...
if i pass multiple files into args.path

$ len8 -f file1.py file2.py

the list would be ["file1.py", "file2".py].
(this is because of #1)

The help text does specifically say a single file, so may be better to lock the command to just checking a single file rather than attempting to make it work for multiple. Thoughts @Jonxslays?

Maybe just remove the entire -f option all together. Just use the path argument for everything...

Good find here @IkBenOlie5 . For now I have pushed a band-aid fix up to the develop branch to restore functionality to the -f flag if you only want to parse a single file.
Feel free to install that with pip install git+https://github.com/parafoxia/len8@develop if you need it.

This requires more thought and planning I think. There are some design flaws that need to be ironed out. Note: -f will still only accept a single file for now.

Personally I would like to keep the greedy path argument, and maybe we could just do away with -f. Give me time to ponder this.

This issue is now resolved in the v0.2.1 release. You can update to the latest version with pip install -U len8.
