Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Only +0 purely because I haven't used argparse myself yet.
Otherwise I would probably be +1, since I have several scripts that have fairly kludgy hacked together optparse based approaches to handling positional arguments, subparsers and building new parsers that accept the superset of options defined in existing parsers. The feature comparison between argparse and optparse makes it sound like argparse does a much better job of supporting these use cases. The reasons I don't use argparse for them are that: a) I didn't know it existed until recently; and b) the scripts are in an environment where getting approval to use new third party modules is something of a pain. ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
