paul j3 added the comment: On Stackoverflow a couple of posters have asked about nesting namespaces as a way of separating the parser and subparser arguments.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15782948 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18668227 One solution that I rather like http://stackoverflow.com/a/18709860/901925 uses a custom Namespace class that recognizes a 'dest' like p.add_argument('--deep', dest='test.doo.deep') and produces Nestedspace(foo='test', test=Nestedspace(bar='baz', doo=Nestedspace(deep='doodod'))) I wonder if a simplified version of this could be added to the Namespace section in the documentation. There are 2 sides to the name conflict issue: - what control does the programmer have over names (esp. when using [parents] and subparsers)? - how does the programmer want to access the arguments in the resulting namespace? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15428> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
