   according to the codex get_post_types accepts a taxonomies parameter, but it isn't explained exactly how this works. i thought that it would return the post type this taxonomy is registered to, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

   $post_args = array(
   	'public'   => true,
   	'taxonomies' => array('genre'),
   	'show_ui' => true
   ); 
   
   $post_types = get_post_types($post_args);

   when i print out the $post_types variable, i get both posts and my custom post type to which the genre taxonomy is registered. So I am wondering if it is possible to have get_post_types only the post type associated with the taxonomy argument.. or at least explain how this parameter is supposed to work.

   Ran into the same problem, caused a sleepless night, have opened a ticket, I consider this as a bug.

   The codex has been changed, 'taxonomies' is not listed there any more.

   Here a workaround which filters get_post_types($args, 'names'); results by taxonomies.
   

   $args = array(
   	'public'   => true,
   	'show_ui' => true
   );
   $post_types = get_post_types($args, 'names');
   
   $taxonomies = array('genre');
   $post_types = array_filter( $post_types, function ( $post_type ) use ($taxonomies) {
   	return (0 == count( array_diff( $taxonomies, get_object_taxonomies( $post_type ) ) ) );
   } );

   After the filter the $post_types array only contains post types which have at least the taxonomy genre.

   Note: If you specify multiple taxonomies in this workaround, e.g. $taxonomies = array('genre', 'image', 'video');, the post type needs to have all of them, otherwise it is filtered.
