New submission from Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com>: Suggestion from a personal email:
I generally like my command line arguments that take a value to specify the type, e.g., --runs int how many runs to do Naturally I can do this using the metavars argument in every add_argument() call, but that can become tedious. So I suggest adding a metavars argument to the ArgumentParser constructor; default metavars=None (current behaviour); metavars=type (show type names). And of course, allow metavars specified in add_argument() calls to override on a case by case basis. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 128300 nosy: bethard priority: low severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: add argparse formatting option to display type names for metavar type: feature request versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11174> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
