R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Here is a proposed patch to both docs and help output. The help output now looks like this:
usage: compileall.py [-h] [-l] [-f] [-q] [-b] [-d DESTDIR] [-x REGEXP] [-i FILE] [FILE|DIR [FILE|DIR ...]] Utilities to support installing Python libraries. positional arguments: FILE|DIR zero or more file and directory names to compile; if no arguments given, defaults to the equivalent of -l sys.path optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -l don't recurse into subdirectories -f force rebuild even if timestamps are up to date -q output only error messages -b use legacy (pre-PEP3147) compiled file locations -d DESTDIR directory to prepend to file paths for use in compile time tracebacks and in runtime tracebacks in cases where the source file is unavailable -x REGEXP skip files matching the regular expression. The regexp is searched for in the full path to each file considered for compilation. -i FILE add all the files and directories listed in FILE to the list considered for compilation. If "-", names are read from stdin. ---------- keywords: +patch stage: needs patch -> patch review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20086/compileall_help.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10454> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
