Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: pollastri (pollastri) Assigned to: Greg Ward (gward) >Summary: Extension to optparse: options with optional arguments Initial Comment: When parsing command line options, I found very useful to have an option with a facultative value, able to do the following: 1-tell to me if the option was or was not seen on the command line, return the value None if the option was not seen; 2-if the option only was specified, return a default value. 3-if the option with a value was specified on the command line, return the specified value; A way to reach this goal can be the addition of a new value for the options actions in module optparse, it may be something like "store_with_default". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Greg Ward (gward) Date: 2005-01-05 08:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14422 I don't know what "facultative" means, but what you want is optional option arguments. Don't worry, I want that feature too, and have even started implementing it on a branch of the Optik source repository. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1050431&group_id=38019&atid=421100 for a similar feature request. I'm leaving this open, since I haven't finished anything or merged it into the Python CVS. It could be a few months before there's any action here, and it certainly won't happen before Optik 1.6 / Python 2.5. Might require Optik 2.0, in which case I'm not certain when it'll get into Python. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1073198&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
