New submission from Thomas Guettler: The current argparse documentation is not easy to read people new to python.
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse.html#choices {{{ current: parser.add_argument('foo', choices='abc') }}} Please make this more explicit: {{{ better: parser.add_argument('foo', choices=['one', 'two', 'three']) }}} {{{ current: parser.parse_args('c'.split()) # looks like perl to me }}} {{{ better: parser.parse_args(['c']) }}} Next: Please use a more common type, not "complex" in the choices example. It confuses a lot of people. ---------- messages: 179679 nosy: guettli priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: argparse: remove magic from examples _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16933> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
