Hi,
I found a example on the internet showing how to create custom admin
commands with subcommands.
My app is named "repo", I use django 1.10.1 on Windows and I am just
trying
to migrate from python 2.7.12 (32bit) to python 3.5.2 (64bit) on windows 7
64bit.
I did also a big switch from optparse to argparse since optparse is gone
in django 1.10.
The file repo_sample.py looks like:
{{{#!py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import absolute_import
from __future__ import division
from __future__ import print_function
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
import argparse
class Command(BaseCommand):
help = "this is a sample"
def handle(self, *args, **options):
if "command" in options:
print("command: %s" % options["command"])
else:
print("no command")
def add_arguments(self, parser):
parser.formatter_class = argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter
subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(metavar='command',
dest='command',
help='sub-command help')
parent_parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(add_help=False)
subparsers.add_parser("command_1", parents=[parent_parser],
cmd=self,
help="This is command_1 no subcommands")
parser_service = subparsers.add_parser("service",
parents=[parent_parser], cmd=self,
help="Manage a windows
service")
parser_service.add_argument("serviceCmd", choices=["install",
"delete", "start", "stop", "status"],
help="Create or deletes a windows
service..")
}}}
Now there is a difference if I run it with python 2 or python 3:
{{{
D:\util>manage.py repo_sample
2.7.12 (v2.7.12:d33e0cf91556, Jun 27 2016, 15:19:22) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)]
usage: manage.py repo_sample [-h] [--version] [-v {0,1,2,3}]
[--settings SETTINGS] [--pythonpath
PYTHONPATH]
[--traceback] [--no-color]
command ...
manage.py repo_sample: error: too few arguments
D:\util>py -3 manage.py repo_sample
3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:18:55) [MSC v.1900 64 bit
(AMD64)]
command: None
D:\util>
}}}
As you see, the first call with python 2 gives an error while the python 3
call behaves differently,
but I think it should at least behave the same way (so I marked it as
bug).
Now I am not sure if argparse behaves differently between python 2.7 and
python 3.5 and if I made an error.
But here is my question(s):
- What is the official ("correct") way to create custom admin commands
with subcommands?
- Do you have some examples in the docs? (I didnt find something)
