Hi, i use the module optparse to parse the command line:
------example #! /usr/bin/python import optparse parser = optparse.OptionParser() parser.add_option("-v", "--verbose", dest = 'verb', help = 'be loud', action = 'store_true', default = 'store_false') (opts, args) = parser.parse_args() print "opts", opts print "args", args ------example If i call it without any parameters i get: opts {'verb': 'store_false'} args [] I would rather like to see the actual value False in "opts", did i use some wrong parameters somewhere? I can't imagine that this is the wanted behaviour of optparse. Thanks for any hints, Torsten. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
