(options, args) = parser.parse_args() print options ... options seems to be a dict but isn't. So it's not possible to use e.g. print "Option 1: %(firstOption)s" % options Here it's easy to use "options.firstOption" but with a larger number of program options it would be nice to be able to use "options" as a dict directly.

In particular, section 6.21.3.7 of the Python Library Reference is pretty clear that options is not a dict. See http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.3/lib/optparse-parsing-arguments.html If you want a dict, no need to modify optparse: just use vars(options). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-07-25 04:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Greg, are you using the Python tracker or only optik tracker? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1518621&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
