Optik 1.5.3 =========== Optik is a powerful, flexible, extensible, easy-to-use command-line parsing library for Python. Using Optik, you can add intelligent, sophisticated handling of command-line options to your scripts with very little overhead.
I have released Optik 1.5.3 mainly to ensure that Python 2.5 includes a version of optparse that is derived from a known release of Optik. Sharp-eyed readers will note that I didn't announce 1.5.2 -- that's because I released it prematurely, and then noticed a change to Lib/test/test_optparse.py in the Python source tree that I had to port to Optik. Oops. You can get Optik 1.5.3 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/optik Or you can just wait for Python 2.5rc1, which will include Optik 1.5.3 as optparse. Anyways, here are the changes since the last proper release (1.5.1): 1.5.3 (23 Jul 2006) ------------------- * Port r47026 from Python svn repository: fix unit test so it doesn't screw up other tests in the Python test suite. 1.5.2 (22 Jul 2006) ------------------- * Minor documentation tweaks. * SF bug #1498146: handle Unicode help strings (affects option help, description, and epilog). -- Greg Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.gerg.ca/ God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent ---it says so right here on the label. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
