Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ritesh Raj Sarraf * Package name: argparse Version : 0.9.1 Upstream Author : Steven Bethard * URL : http://code.google.com/p/argparse * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : argparse: Python command line parser The argparse module makes writing command line tools in Python easy. Just briefly describe your command line interface and argparse will take care of the rest, including: * parsing the arguments and flags from sys.argv * converting arg strings into objects for your program * formatting and printing any help messages * and much more ... For those familiar with the optparse module from the Python standard library, argparse improves on this module in a number of ways, including: * handling positional arguments * supporting sub-commands * allowing alternative option prefixes like + and / * handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments * producing more informative usage messages * providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The binary package will definitely be named python-argparse. The source packages will be named argparse.

Indeed, this naming policy if for *binary* packages; source can be named as they prefer (well, common sense applied) so noticing it out in an ITP (that's for source only) it's quite pointless (like say "hey, you need to follow debian policy"...) -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
