New submission from Patrick Westerhoff <patrickwesterh...@gmail.com>:
Hey, according to PEP 3101, the new string.Formatter class is supposed to replace the old string formatting with %. At least that is what I was always thinking. Given that argparse is a Python 3.2+ exclusive module, I think it should make use of that new formatting method. Is there any special reason why that is not the case and the old %-formatting is used? It feels a bit weird to have Python 3 code using only string.Formatter and then have a short section where the old formatter is used – especially when that module was introduced with Python 3.2. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 146516 nosy: poke priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: argparse should use the new Formatter class type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13280> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
