Comment (by humbertotm):
This is the fix I'm proposing based on my understanding of the issue. As
far as I understand, the requested enhancement requires that
`CommandParser` can ultimately receive any additional args that it can
pass to its parent class `ArgumentParser`. What I did was adding an
additional positional argument in the form of `kwargs` to the
`create_parser()` method in `BaseCommand` as follows:
{{{
def create_parser(self, prog_name, subcommand, **kwargs):
"""
Create and return the ``ArgumentParser`` which will be used to
parse the arguments to this command. Hi.
"""
default_kwargs = {
'prog': '%s %s' % (os.path.basename(prog_name), subcommand),
'description': self.help or None,
'formatter_class': DjangoHelpFormatter,
'missing_args_message': getattr(self, 'missing_args_message',
None),
'called_from_command_line': getattr(self,
'_called_from_command_line', None)
}
kwargs.update(default_kwargs)
parser = CommandParser(**kwargs)
...
}}}
This way, the `kwargs` provided to the method call are merged with the
default kwargs into a single dictionary to be passed on to
`CommandParser`. These changes do not break the test suite, but additional
regression tests are still pending.
Let me know if I'm failing to see or understand something by following
this approach.
Thanks!
