I spent some time looking at optparse code and OP's request. _check_dest has a clear comment that says "dest" will be set iff a "store" action is selected (which callback is not) or if a "type" is given. But from the code itself, I don't see how setting "dest" in all cases would be bad. Do you want to assign this to Greg Ward to ask his opinion? Also, it doesn't look like we can directly patch optparse.py as it seems to be auto-generated. On a side note, I don't have tracker permissions to change status. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1243> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
