I've read this one... > http://micheles.googlecode.com/hg/plac/doc/plac_ext.html But this one is broken. :( How about hierarchical composition. I've seen several scripts following the format basescript command [options] subcommands [other optiones] ... It would be great if one can compose functions to form the commands. Instead of def main(command, opt1, opt2): """...""" if command == 'cmd1': ... elif command == 'cmd2': ... if __name__=='__main__': import plac plac.call(main) one could then write def cmd1(opt1): """...""" ... def cmd2(opt2): """...""" ... if __name__=='__main__': import plac plac.call(plac.commands(cmd1, cmd2)) This should then produce usage info like this $ basescript --help usage: basescript [-h] command ... commands: cmd1 cmd2 $ basescript cmd1 --help usage basescript cmd1 [cmd1 specific options] ... $ basescript cmd2 --help usage basescript cmd2 [cmd2 specific options] ... Maybe one could even extend to subcommands and so on. Maybe this is already possible but just not covered by the first link I've read by now. Anyway, I very much like this package and it seems like I have a new friend at my disposal. Thanks and best regards Andre -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
