Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: I think using shlex unconditionally to parse lines sent to cmd.Cmd may not be ideal.
Cmd is very generic and there are many ways to parse lines into arguments: - no parsing (think Python shells or remote command execution) - shlex (makes sense for unix users, maybe not others) - parse_ints as in your example (lexing + conversion) - optparse (I read about a tool where the interactive command format was the same as the command-line arguments format, which makes is super easy to support all commands in a config file or “session replay” file!) - many more. Could the shlex parsing be in a subclass? Or is it small enough to be in the docs? If it’s not small, maybe the base Cmd class needs to be reworked to make it easier to hook into line parsing? ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33227> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
