So I just want to suppress them from the help.
I've read somewhere that the help=SUPPRESS should do what I want:
parser.add_argument('-n', '--test_only',
action='store_true',
help=SUPPRESS)
but that's what I get from "myapp -h", which is not exactly what I was
looking for..
-f, --first_level ==SUPPRESS== (default: False)
--never_redevelop ==SUPPRESS== (default: False)
Any other solutions?
That shouldn't happen. Did you reload() somewhere?
argparse tests object identity not equality with SUPPRESS, so you have to
ensure that SUPPRESS stems from the same instance of the argparse module as
your ArgumentParser.
Ah great yes it wasn't actually the same..
but why not just use
if text != SUPPRESS
instead of:
if text is not SUPPRESS
probably the second is more safe, but they are it's still checking
against a constant that
is very unlikely to clash with anything..
