That was exactly my use case, which I'd say is very common for small utilities. Just in 10 minutes I could find that about a half of command line utilities on my Windows machine are reporting full name and version before the usage with --help option, including NSIS, PuTTY, Far Manager, Android Debug Bridge and 7-Zip. A pity that before argparse replaced optparse, there was no research made to gather the output from various console tools to see how argparse really saves people from reinventing their solutions. Do you think we could avoid this problem if there was more active turnaround between Roundup community and Python community to import all issues from Google Code tracker in time to do some planning? http://code.google.com/p/argparse/issues/detail?id=50 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7284> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
