paul j3 added the comment: If we make this change to '_StoreAction', we need to do it to 4 other subclasses which take the same 'setattr(namespace, self.dest, values)'.
An alternative would be to define a 'Namespace' function that does this conditional 'setattr'. How should this 'SUPPRESS' affect the usage and help? I'm seeing "--foo ==SUPPRESS==". Do you have practical need for such a 'SUPPRESS', or are you just trying to make behavior consistent? 'SUPPRESS' is used for '--help' and subparsers because those Actions have important side effects, and we don't want default values to appear in the Namespace. With '_StoreAction', the only effect is to store a value in the Namespace. ---------- nosy: +paul.j3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20430> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
