Theodore Turocy <drarbi...@gmail.com> added the comment: What is the appropriate behavior for long options when '-' is not one of the accepted prefix_chars? All of '-h', '--help', '-v', and '--version' are hardcoded in the ctor. If, for instance, prefix_chars='+', should the long options be '++help', or should long options simply be disabled?
Also, for backwards compatibility, to implement Doug Hellmann's suggestion, '-' should be used for '-h' and '--help' whenever '-' is listed in prefix_chars (so, e.g., prefix_chars='+-' will result in the same behavior as previous versions). I have a working patch for this but wouldn't mind someone else's thoughts first. ---------- nosy: +ted.turocy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9444> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
