Xqt created this task. Xqt added projects: Pywikibot, Pywikibot-Documentation. Restricted Application added subscribers: pywikibot-bugs-list, Aklapper.
TASK DESCRIPTION pywikibot.handle_args() can be used to handle global options within scripts like options = {} local_args = pywikibot.handle_args() for arg in local_args; arg, _, value = arg.partition(':') if not arg.startswith('-'): continue option[arg] = value but global options can changes and private options can be hidden by such implementation. Vice versa if the local optionas are handled first, the global options could be discarded. **Problen:** The problem is that global options can be changed or expanded at any time. There is no way to deprecate renamed options or warn for new ones. **Solution** The prefered way is to use global options throught the pwb wrapper script as descibed there:https://doc.wikimedia.org/pywikibot/master/utilities/scripts_ref.html#module-pywikibot.scripts.wrapper `python pwb.py <global pwb options> <name_of_script> <local script options>` Using this proposal the pywikibot.handle_args is no longer necessary to be used within the script. This mehtod should be more documented.
