New submission from Aaron Meurer: I hope it's OK to report documentation issues on this tracker. Reading http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/argparse.html#prog I had to do a double take. The documentation states, "By default, ArgumentParser objects uses sys.argv[0] to determine how to display the name of the program in help messages." The example then goes on to show it *not* using sys.argv[0] (sys.argv[0] in the second example would be 'subdir\myprogram.py').
Furthermore, even though the commands are apparently POSIX style, with a $ prompt and using cd, they use a backslash to access a subdirectory. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 213988 nosy: Aaron.Meurer, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: contradictory documentation for prog option of argparse _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20970> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
