Hi, I'm using optparse for a little Python script.
1. The output from "--help" is: """ Usage: script.py <arg> script.py does something Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit """ I would prefer to have the description before the usage, like... """ script.py does something Usage: script.py <arg> Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit """ 2. The output from "--doesnotexit" is: """ Usage: script.py <arg> script.py: error: no such option: --doesnotexist """ I would prefer to have the error first, then the usage and additionally the options, like... """ script.py: error: no such option: --doesnotexist Usage: script.py <arg> Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit """ Is that possible with either optparse or the "new kid on the block" argparse. If so how? Thorsten -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
