Thanks for your reply. It seems you quite good understood my use case =) and I
get your point. Also, I just did not mention your (far more easier method) of
accomplishing my goal.
Indeed, where I use that kind of switching I conditionally change the help text
as well. So the actual pice of code I use to satisfy my use case now, taking
your advice into practice, looks like the following:
parser.add_argument('--verbose', action='store_const', const=not
defaults['verbose'], help='switch on/off verbosity (is
'+str(defaults['verbose'])+')')
I quite often use that "config - argparse switch" combination and till now I
was doing it far more complicated I do by now :D
Thank you very much for your fast assistance and considering how easy it really
is to do what I had in mind I agree with you decision to decline this feature
request.
kind regards
