Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com> added the comment: Ok, here's what I think needs to go into the documentation here:
(1) Add a separate section to the argparse docs about '--'. Give examples like the ones in this issue, and show how '--' can solve them (2) Cross-reference the section on '--' from nargs='?', nargs='*', nargs='+' and the "Arguments containing -" sections (and any other places where people are likely to run into the need for '--'). All of these changes should be on Doc/library/argparse.rst - I don't think we want to change the code at the moment. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9182> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
