Adrian Sampson <asamp...@cs.washington.edu> added the comment: Thanks for the suggestion, Steven. I hadn't yet internalized the difference between dest and metavar.
This version of the patch modifies metavar instead. Because it looks like this issue is up for 3.2b2, I've modified NEWS and ACKS (I hope this was the right thing to do). I also see the logic behind both help styles Steven depicts. If there's any interest, I can implement the other (hg) style or make it an option. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20101/argparse-aliases.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9234> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
