Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Veness (pelago) Assigned to: Greg Ward (gward) Summary: optparse docs double-dash confusion Initial Comment: Page http://docs.python.org/lib/optparse-terminology.html says: The GNU project introduced "-" followed by a series of hyphen-separated words, e.g. "-file" or "-dry-run". but should say: The GNU project introduced "--" followed by a series of hyphen-separated words, e.g. "--file" or "--dry-run". Also at the bottom of that page: "-v" and "-report" are both options. should be: "-v" and "--report" are both options. It looks in general that there is a documentation rendering problem when double-dash appears in quotes. Other double-dash items on that page are ok, when not in quotes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: splitscreen (splitscreen) Date: 2006-02-18 11:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1126061 Yeah, that's all that the patch that I provided does. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (birkenfeld) Date: 2006-02-17 09:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1188172 A suggested fix is to replace "-{}-" by "{--}" for long options.
