New submission from Joseph Birr-Pixton <jpix...@gmail.com>: Say I have an argument with the name 'foo-bar'. Argparse accepts and parses arguments, but Namespace does not allow me to access the value.
Yes, I can use getattr or Namespace.__dict__. But that's ugly. Yes, I can change the name of the argument, but that's not what I want in my help output. I think it should either: - Collapse names to valid python identifiers (optparse did this). - Namespace should act like an object and dict. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: argparsetest.py messages: 154550 nosy: Joseph.Birr-Pixton priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Argparse usage model requires argument names to be python identifiers type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24669/argparsetest.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14149> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
