It seems the discussion has so far revolved around 'optional' arguments with `required=True`. What about the other way around? While trying to set `required=False` for a positional argument raises an exception, it is still possible to make the positional argument effectively optional by `nargs='?'` (it is then printed in brackets in usage message). ---------- nosy: +kkarbowiak _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue9694> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
