Category: Documentation >Group: Python 2.5 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Michael Dunn (popuptoaster) Assigned to: Greg Ward (gward) Summary: incorrect documentation for optparse Initial Comment: The page http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/optparse-parsing-arguments.html in the current documentation has text with an incorrect example: """ 6.21.3.7 Parsing arguments The whole point of creating and populating an OptionParser is to call its parse_args() method: (options, args) = parser.parse_args(args=None, options=None) where the input parameters are args the list of arguments to process (sys.argv[1:] by default) options object to store option arguments in (a new instance of optparse.Values by default) """ The example should be changed to: (options, args) = parser.parse_args(args=None, values=None) ^^^^^^ And then there should be a correstponding substition below in the explanation of the keyword arguments: values ^^^^^^ object to store option arguments in (a new instance of optparse.Values by default) Cheers, Michael ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Greg Ward (gward) Date: 2006-06-11 10:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14422 Actually, I prefer the terminology in the example code, and think that the text is wrong. So I fixed the text instead. Also made a few other small tweaks to this section. Fixed upstream in Optik svn, rev 519. Fix on Python trunk, rev 46860. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2005-11-26 11:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 Assigning to Greg as he maintains the upstream Optik distribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1366250&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
