Should these options be activated only when not mounting the demo, or all the time (meaning they'd default to single and open respectively, in order not to change the current behavior?) > * Allow use of a module instead of a script to obtain the application How would the runner make the difference? Do it as Python does, a positional script file and a -m option for a module? > * drop the ':' separator syntax, or else use os.pathsep so that it works > properly on Windows (where ':' can denote a drive letter) Ah yes, I had not thought of that, this would be annoying and I don't think the pathsep helps, since the script is an arbitrary path file it can contain pathseps. A second — optional as well — positional parameter would avoid that problem, would not be more typing and would remove the need for some of the munging in the type callable. But now that'd look weird with -m module, unless `-m` is not an option-with-value but a boolean flag saying to treat the first positional parameter as a module instead of a script. That could work nicely, it'd depart somewhat from Python's own semantics but not too much. _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
