paul j3 added the comment: I have seen questions on StackOverflow with 'store_true' and explicit `default=False` parameters. I don't recall any where this was a problem. Usually it's as harmless as users specifying other defaults like `action='store'`, or a dest that echos a long option, etc.
But if we are going to fix the wrong default statement in `store_const`, we might as well clarify this case as well. I wonder if this is the time and place to add a note that specifying 'type' is not necessary (and even wrong) - re. this closed issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue24754 Is the line 'These are special cases of ``'store_const'``' useful? The statement echos the class definition class _StoreTrueAction(_StoreConstAction) but I'm not sure it adds much to the user's understanding. 'store_true' and 'store_false' are used frequently; 'store_const' is much less common (based on SO questions). ---------- nosy: +paul.j3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25314> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
