Hmm, that's a new one for me.

Could you possibly give me the full command you wrote and the log of the output? My first guess is that there was a character passed to one of the arguments that wasn't recognized. So, make sure there are no special characters or anything in your command.

[Jeffery-Ni]

this is my command:
python run_cenote-taker2.py -h
and really nothing else

Hi, I wanted to look into this, so I uninstsalled and re-installed Cenote-Taker 2, including the conda environment. I'm not able to reproduce this error.

I believe that it is probably an issue unrelated to this tool, but I will leave the issue open in case others run into the same problem or figure out a solution.
