[issue24109] Documentation for difflib uses optparse
Keith Gray added the comment: I took a look at Tools/scripts/diff.py and it looks like it got converted to use argparse 9 months ago. I think I should be able to just include that in the difflib documentation directly. My next question is which branches need to have this changed? Do I just make the documentation change to the default branch or do I need to change it in 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 as well? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24109 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue24109] Documentation for difflib uses optparse
New submission from Keith Gray: The documentation for optparse states it has been deprecated in favor of argparse since 2.7. However, the library documentation for difflib still uses optparse in the example. https://docs.python.org/2/library/difflib.html#a-command-line-interface-to-difflib https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/difflib.html#a-command-line-interface-to-difflib I am willing to update the documentation if there is agreement that it is needed. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 242347 nosy: docs@python, idahogray priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation for difflib uses optparse type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24109 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
