Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No 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: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2007-03-15 23:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Originator: NO Greg, since optik is maintained separately, it seems to make sense to close this and possibly create a new report in optik. http://sourceforge.net/projects/optik . Let me know if that's not how you want to handle bugs/feature requests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Greg Ward (gward) Date: 2005-01-05 05:19 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
