This adds overhead, since it creates a formatter and uses it for formatting only for validation purposes. I think it is better to only have the error when the formatter is actually used (i.e. the help is displayed - which is not the typical use case, and it should be optimized for not displaying the help (i.e. only parsing args)). The error could be more specific than before/initially though, of course. ---------- nosy: +blueyed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue9348> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
