Paul said: I haven't had a chance to study your longer posts, but it seems to me that the AddFruitAction example could just as well be implemented with parser.add_argument('--color', nargs='*', action='append') with post parsing processing to create the 'fruits' dicts from the appended lists. That was also my first reaction, Paul, when I read Tadek's proposal. But I quickly realized that particularly with the feature of "capture and reset to default" that the number of instances of a particular optional and the number of positionals do not always match, and there is no way to correlate them later, even if they are all captured and saved. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42973> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
