Dennis Malcorps <dennis.malco...@googlemail.com> added the comment: Here is a patch that adds a 'write' action to argparse. Usage example:
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() >>> parser.add_argument("--license", action="write", message="This file\nis >>> licensed under \t GPL") >>> parser.parse_args(['--license']) This file is licensed under GPL A linebreak will be added after the message. The Output can be redirected with the optional 'file=' argument (it defaults to sys.stdout) The parser will then exit. This is my first patch ever written, so don't be too harsh if it's utter garbage^^ ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18268/argparse.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9399> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
