Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment: Éric is correct. There is not much that can be done about this. The nomenclature is deeply baked into the code and the docs.
We did change the help output to list "options" rather than "optional arguments". That helps the end users so that "optional" doesn't imply the opposite of "required". ---------- nosy: +rhettinger resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46700> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
