New submission from Trevor Meyerowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
There are two minor bugs in the example in:
http://docs.python.org/lib/optparse-callback-example-6.html
For the optparse example documentation, the call to parser.add_option is
listed as:
parser.add_option("-c", "--callback",
action="callback", callback=varargs)
this has two bugs:
1. It refers to the wrong function name
2. It needs to have a dest variable defined, b/c the callback function
operates on that.
This can be fixed if the parser.add_option call is changed to:
parser.add_option("-c", "--callback",
action="callback", dest="foo", callback=varargs_callback)
