Confusion about syntax for notarizing an app using xcrun altool

I'm trying to obtain notarization for an app I developed outside Xcode but instead wrote using python and pyinstaller and that I wish to share outside the app store. I have a Developer's license, but am completely new to the notarization process and have been searching all over for assistance. I first stored my Apple credentials using xcrun altool --store-password-in-keychain-item "AC_PASSWORD" -u "my_email@gmail.com" -p "my_apple-password" At the developer's website I created a certificate, developerID_application.cer, which I uploaded to my keychain and see listed as Developer ID Application: MyName (TeamID) I then signed the app using codesign -s "MyName (TeamID)" -v --deep --timestamp --entitlements entitlements.plist -o runtime "dist/My Application.app" entitlements.plist is included here since the binaries were built using pyinstaller. (I'm following advice given at https://haim.dev/posts/2020-08-08-python-macos-app/.) From what I can tell, the signing works. Now I attempt to notarize via xcrun altool —notarize-app -f /Users/my_name/Desktop/my_application.zip --primary-bundle-id TeamID -u my_email@gmail.com —password "@keychain:AC_PASSWORD" The resulting error message states "No command argument was specified" What is the fundamental issue I'm overlooking?
