paul j3 added the comment: I don't recall other issues or discussions about lining up short and long option strings.
Producing a more compact invocation has raised in StackOverflow questions. I don't recall if there has been bug/issue on the same. If I recall correctly it isn't hard to identify and change the Formatter method that produces the action invocation. So such a change could be implemented as a Formatter subclass. A SO search should produce that. You can also play with the metavar of an argument to produce a more command invocation. The formatting of choices has been discussed in other bug/issues. The ultimate help formatting method is to SUPPRESS the argument help, and write your own in a (RAW) description. ---------- nosy: +paul.j3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25307> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
