Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com> added the comment: For optional flags like --foo-bar, argparse does munge the "dest" to "foo_bar", following optparse. For positional arguments, arpgarse doesn't munge things this way, but if you want the argument named "foo-bar" in help messages and "foo_bar" on the Namespace object, you just need to do something like:
add_argument('foo_bar', metavar='foo-bar', ...) Perhaps the docs could make this clearer. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14149> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
