[issue9253] argparse: optional subparsers
Benjamin West added the comment: https://gist.github.com/1202975#file_test_opt_subcommand.py I sketched out a sloppy test earlier. I think this test is probably not quite comprehensive enough, and I'm not sure it fits into the python style either. I suppose there are other tests I can more or less copy. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9253] argparse: optional subparsers
Benjamin West bew...@gmail.com added the comment: Thanks Eric. I was thrown by this document: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Git which describes fetching the sources from SVN using git. I'm comfortable doing either, but it doesn't resolve my confusion. The version of argparse in the python checkout is 1.1: http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Lib/argparse.py 64 __version__ = '1.1' but differs from the SVN version. whereas the argparse version available via google code is 1.2. The diffs indicate several changes not related to the change I'm attempting to make, which prevent my patch from applying cleanly. Looks like the HG version includes the 1.2 code... but I'm not sure why it would differ from SVN's trunk. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Benjamin West bew...@gmail.com added the comment: Ok, here's a rough attempt at stubbing this out against a python checkout. Will try to look at adding tests. (BTW, subsequent GETs should not modify the bug tracker... this seems like a bug since GET should be idempotent, but SFTN from the double posting.) -- hgrepos: +101 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Benjamin West bew...@gmail.com added the comment: Ok, Steven, that sounds reasonable. I checked out git-svn python and started comparing diffs... I'm a little confused. What version of argparse should be patched to provide this feature? My HG version from https://code.google.com/p/argparse/ seems to contain a version of argparse 1.2 while, my git-svn checkout of python seems to contain an argparse 1.1. Should I attempt to bring cpython's version up to date as well, or attempt to strip out the version bump changes? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Benjamin West bew...@gmail.com added the comment: I spent some time looking at this, as I was interested in using this pattern to simulate what git and hg do. I considered a few modifications and then found this bug. I think the default keyword passed to _SubParsersAction.__init__ makes sense. I started on a patch, that looks promising, but I'm having trouble getting the regexp right. Here's a changeset higlighting where I think the problematic regexp is: https://bitbucket.org/bewest/argparse/changeset/938e1e91ddd0 https://gist.github.com/1202975#file_test_opt_subcommand.py Is the meager little test I put together. -- hgrepos: +68 nosy: +Benjamin.West ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
