New submission from Austin Scola <austinsc...@gmail.com>:
One of the types of arguments that I find myself most often passing to `argparse.ArgumentParser` is paths. I think that I am probably not alone in frequent usage of paths as arguments. Given this, it would be extremely helpful to have an `argparse.Action` in `argparse` or an type similar to `FileType` that converted the string to a path. A path type factory could also have an arguments to optionally check if the path exists, or is a directory, or other similar predicates. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 382542 nosy: ascola priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Better path handling with argparse type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42572> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
