Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:
I think you could achieve this by overriding convert_arg_line_to_args. If this were baked in to argparse, there would need to be an argument to argparse.ArgumentParser to turn on this behavior, with the default being to not support comments. That's because enabling this by default would be a non backward compatible change. Personally, I think argparse.ArgumentParser is already too complex, and this shouldn't be added. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith, paul.j3, rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42677> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
