New submission from Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com>: There is an undocumented value for add_argument's nargs parameter, REMAINDER, which can be used to consume all the remaining arguments. This is commonly useful for command line utilities that dispatch to other command line utilities.
Though undocumented, it has been used successfully by at least a few different people: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5826881/how-to-use-argparse-to-collect-arguments-for-a-separate-command-line-without http://code.google.com/p/argparse/issues/detail?id=52 And I just received an email from yet another user who used it successfully. So I think it's time to graduate this from a hidden feature to a real documented one. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 149552 nosy: bethard, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: document argparse's nargs=REMAINDER type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13605> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
