> Couldn't such a tool exist outside the standard library. I've tried writing such a tool. It would ideally re-use as much as feasible of the functionality that assembles the usage message. But that is hampered by the fact the usage message generation is not easily accessible from outside. I am hoping that, in order to re-use that functionality, a common set of “take the argument collection as input, generate a document structure” functionality can be factored out for other use — initially, for generating a manual page. So this bug report asks for that work to be done in the ‘argparse’ library. > Installing the manpage is a separate concern. Yes, I agree. That is not part of this bug report. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue14102> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
