paul j3 added the comment: I submitted a patch to http://bugs.python.org/issue9253
The reason why subparser became optional in the latest release is that a old test for missing positionals was phased out, and new one added. Subparsers have always had a default 'required=False', but the old test did not actually pay attention to that attribute. It is easy to change the default attribute, but that ends up exposing a bug in the new test (trying to ','.join[...,None,...]). My patch corrects that, and exposes the 'required' attribute. It also has doc changes and test additions. I could rewrite it so it does not change the API or the doc. ---------- nosy: +paul.j3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16308> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
