Hi Breno
OK. There is a place where to get an install image for Ubuntu 14.10 for PPC64 LE.
Since the PPC64/LE machines I use are managed by another team, it may be complicated/long to get them agree to install a machine with something unstable. Anyway, I'll ask if it is possible.

Now, why do you think that the issue is in the Ubuntu system and not simply in the port of the Python 2.7.6 on PPC64/LE ?
I don't know a lot about Python, however I guess that there is probably C code that may have an issue.

I'll probably check with other versions of Python 2, in order to know if
the issue is specific to some sub-version of Python 2, or only to this
2.7.6 .

Title:
  OptionParser on PPC64LE does not split args correctly

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The issue appears on PPC64 LE.
  It is OK on (Ubuntu) x86_64.
  Version of Python is 2.7.6 on both systems.
  The issue is demonstrated while running AVRO Python tests (in lang/py : ant test).

  
  - On Ubuntu / PPC64 LE :

  $ pwd
  ..../lang/py
  $ export PYTHONPATH=./build/src
  $ /home/tony/AVRO/avro-FromFreshIBMSOEGitHub/lang/py/build/test/../scripts/avro cat /tmp/REIX --fields 'first, last'
  {"first": "daffy"}
  {"first": "bugs"}
  {"first": "tweety"}
  {"first": "road"}
  {"first": "wile"}
  {"first": "pepe"}
  {"first": "foghorn"}
  Usage: avro cat|write [options] FILE [FILE...]

  avro: error: Can't open last - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'last'
  $ echo $?
  2

  The issue is that 'first, last' is not parsed correctly. The white
  space between "," and "last" is parsed in a way that makes "last" been
  interpreted as a "FILE" instead of an option.

  
  Without the white space, that works fine:

  $ /home/tony/AVRO/avro-FromFreshIBMSOEGitHub/lang/py/build/test/../scripts/avro cat /tmp/REIX --fields 'first,last'
  {"last": "duck", "first": "daffy"}
  {"last": "bunny", "first": "bugs"}
  {"last": "", "first": "tweety"}
  {"last": "runner", "first": "road"}
  {"last": "e", "first": "wile"}
  {"last": "le pew", "first": "pepe"}
  {"last": "leghorn", "first": "foghorn"}
  $ echo $?
  0

  
  - On Ubuntu / x86_64, both 'first, last' and 'first,last' are OK:

  $ pwd
  ..../lang/py
  $ export PYTHONPATH=./build/src
  $ build/test/../scripts/avro cat /tmp/REIX --fields 'first, last'
  {"last": "duck", "first": "daffy"}
  {"last": "bunny", "first": "bugs"}
  {"last": "", "first": "tweety"}
  {"last": "runner", "first": "road"}
  {"last": "e", "first": "wile"}
  {"last": "le pew", "first": "pepe"}
  {"last": "leghorn", "first": "foghorn"}
  $ echo $?
  0

  
  Source code of: /home/tony/AVRO/avro-FromFreshIBMSOEGitHub/lang/py/build/test/../scripts/avro  is:

  def main(argv=None):
      import sys
      from optparse import OptionParser, OptionGroup

      argv = argv or sys.argv

      parser = OptionParser(description="Display/write for Avro files",
                        version="1.7.4",
                        usage="usage: %prog cat|write [options] FILE [FILE...]")
  ....

  So, OptionParser() does not work on PPC64 like it does on x86_64.
