%(prog)s is available in epilog:

-- temp.py --
import argparse

epilog = """\
Example usage:
  %(prog)s option1 option2
"""
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter,
epilog=epilog)
parser.parse_args()
--
$ python temp.py -h
usage: temp.py [-h]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Example usage:
  temp.py option1 option2

Did you need more than that?

2011-06-09 Thread Jonas H. 

Jonas H.  added the comment:

Nope. I want an "examples" section, for example from `man git log`:


EXAMPLES
   git log --no-merges
   Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges

   git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi
   Show all commits since version v2.6.12 that changed any file in the 
include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories

   ...

Is http://docs.python.org/dev/library/argparse#usage what you want?

[issue12284] argparse.ArgumentParser: usage example option

2011-06-08 Thread Jonas H. 

New submission from Jonas H. :

I'd like to see an `examples` option added to argparse.ArgumentParser as found 
in many man pages.

This could also be done using the `epilog` option, but that misses the 
"%(proc)s" replacement which makes usage examples like this

  Example usage:
./script.py option1 option2

impossible.
