[issue9234] argparse: aliases for positional arguments (subparsers)

Łukasz Langa added the comment: Georg, be our hero here. I would be disappointed if this missed 3.2 and made us wait another 18 months (or 3 years for Linux distribution inclusion) for that feature. This feature makes the first edition of argparse in py3k complete in terms of subcommands. -

[issue9234] argparse: aliases for positional arguments (subparsers)

Éric Araujo added the comment: Looks good and ready to me. Regarding “alias” in help text, note that Mercurial prints it (using one line for them) but Subversion puts aliases in parentheses just after the main command name, which works very for me (not a beginner). Stephen, what do you thin

[issue10713] re module doesn't describe string boundaries for \b

New submission from Ralph Corderoy : The re module defines \b in a regexp to need \w one side and \W the other. What about when the end of the string or line is involved? perlre(1) says that's treated as a \W. Python should precisely document that case too. -- assignee: d...@python

Kristján Valur Jónsson added the comment: Well, I can submit a patch if anyone is interested. I came across this when writing asynchronous network code. By hanging onto the Py_buffer, I should have access to the data during the network call. But it only worked for "true" Py_buffer objects an

[issue10609] dbm documentation example doesn't work (iteritems())

Éric Araujo added the comment: IMO, wrapping db in a dict defeats the purpose of dbm implementing a mapping interface. I would use the most natural mapping idioms: - for k, v in db.iteritems(): - print(k, '\t', v) + for k in db: + print(k, '\t', db[k]) The downside of this ex
