New submission from Yannick Gingras <yging...@ygingras.net>:
In argparse.rst, while documenting ArgumentParser.add_subparsers, ``prog`` is described on line 1630 as: usage information that will be displayed with sub-command help, by default the name of the program and any positional arguments before the subparser argument This is confusing since ``prog`` is actually a very small prefix of the usage message. Describing this parameter as "name of the program" or event "name of the program with sub-commands" would be more clear. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 378316 nosy: ygingras priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Argparse documentation is slightly misleading versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
