Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: It's unfortunate (at least to me, but I know I have a skewed view of this) that the help string in add_argument uses %-formatting when formatting the result. I'd much rather it use str.format().
I see a couple of options: - leave it as-is and live with %-formatting forever - add a different, mutually exclusive parameter, like help_ex or help_str - try to guess whether to use %-formatting or str.format, based on inspecting the help string I'm not really wild about any of these. I'm still looking through the code, slowly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
