Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: LunarYorn (lunar_yorn) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Documentation missing for OptionGroup class in optparse Initial Comment: Python seems to lack documentation for the OptionGroup class and related methods in the optparse modul. In detail documentation of the following classes and methods in optparse is missing: - OptionGroup - OptionParser.add_option_group - OptionParser.get_option_group These classes and methods also lack docstrings. I found this in Python 2.4.4c1 which comes with Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy. It seems, that Python 2.5 on Ubuntu Edgy also suffers from this bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steven Bethard (bediviere) Date: 2007-02-26 10:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=945502 Originator: NO The docstrings need to be modified in the Optik package (from which the stdlib optparse module is derived). I've filed you an appropriate patch there: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1669315&group_id=38019&atid=421097. I'll see what I can do about adding some documentation. My preference is only to document OptionParser.add_option_group -- I think making the OptionGroup API public is a mistake (like making the STORE_ACTIONS, etc. APIs public was). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1665333&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
