There are too many existing tools that make use of ‘-h’ for other things (e.g. “hostname to connect to”) for me to expect it to mean “help” by default. If I'm expecting an option to be a short name for “help”, it would be ‘-?’. -- \ “One bad programmer can easily create two new jobs a year. | `\ Hiring more bad programmers will just increase our perceived | _o__) need for them.” —David Lorge Parnas, 1999-03 | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
