I don't think this should have been closed. [1] If the user is using sub_parser, the options are not even displayed. For example in our https://github.com/tensorflow/datasets project: ``` $ tfds build mnist --overwritte usage: tfds [-h] [--helpfull] [--version] {build,new} ... tfds: error: unrecognized arguments: --overwritte ``` [2] For some programs, there can be 20+ options and having to scroll through the list is not user friendly at all. [3] Other CLI, like Google absl.flags has this option too and it is very convenient. ---------- nosy: +conchylicultor _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39106> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
