Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'm not sure about the usage_template approach - seems like it might be hard to make it work, while still supporting formatter_class. (Though maybe it's not so bad since the formatter class methods are all considered implementation details.) I'm open to patches though if you're willing to provide one.
In the meantime, a simple approach that will work is to override format_help(): class MyArgumentParser(argparse.ArgumentParser): def format_help(self): help = super(MyArgumentParser, self).format_help() return headline + '\n' + help ---------- _______________________________________ 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
