[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

Attached patch adds a link target for :class:`Namespace` (already used in the 
docs) and adds a reference to it from for the first mentions of “namespace 
object”.

Use “hg import blah.diff” (after “hg up 3.2”) to get the patch in the repo 
directly (with checkin message and my committer name) or usual patch(1) if you 
want to make amendments.

[issue8982] argparse docs cross reference Namespace as a class but the Namespace class is not documented

[Steven Bethard]

Steven Bethard  added the comment:

I fixed the docs here so that they're clearer about what the Namespace object 
is, and also so that they mention the `vars` approach if you want dict-style 
access.

[Steven Bethard]

Steven Bethard  added the comment:

That's right, it doesn't support subscripting. The docs are silent on what 
namespace is mainly because I don't want to commit to anything other than an 
object with attributes. But that could be made clearer in the docs.

[issue8982] argparse docs cross reference Namespace as a class but the Namespace class is not documented

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray :

I wanted to find out if Namespace supported lookup by subscripting 
(args['someopt']), but the docs are silent on what Namespace is.  (The answer, 
by the way, appears to be "no"; there is a feature request for this in issue 
8979).
