paul j3 added the comment: I'd suggest not worrying about the default metavar in the _expand_help() method. The formatted choice string created in that method is only used if the help line includes a '%(choices)s' string. The programmer can easily omit that if he isn't happy with the expanded list.
TestHelpVariableExpansion is the only test in test_argparse.py that uses it. Sig('--foo', choices=['a', 'b', 'c'], help='foo %(prog)s %(default)s %(choices)s') ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16468> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
