Agreed. I have also been bitten by optparse munging paragraphs together in the description, and it's annoying. I *think* we could get away with two simple rules: * blank lines separate paragraphs * indented lines don't get wrapped Obviously no one wants to reinvent reStructuredText, but I think that should do the trick. If that works, I think the suggested 'examples' arg becomes unnecessary. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6454> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
