Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I think we should give each extension with options other than 'enablexx' a single 'option-help' option that gives the 'signature' of the extension. I suggest 'option-help', rather than just 'help', as the new 'reserved' option name as being more descriptive and less likely to already be in use in 3rd-party extension. Example (that indicates my ignorance of what the options mean ;-):
option-help=ParenMatch options bell->bool: Ring bell on failure(??) flash-delay->int: Milliseconds delay before ?? style->choice: expression, statement?? Parse by splitting on '\n', ':', and '->'. ->bool would cause the current value to be read as a bool and True/False button to be displayed. ->int would cause current value to be read as int and entered value to be checked as int ->choice would cause radiobuttons to be displayed. ->float should also be recognized The Help button at the bottom should display information about enablexx options. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3068> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
