paul j3 added the comment: Under what circumstances would this be useful?
http://bugs.python.org/issue19462 asks for a 'remove_argument' method. That seems to be most useful if the argument is inherited from a parent parser. A subparsers argument could be inherited from a parent (I think), but the parenting mechanism does not provide a reference to the corresponding _SubParsersAction object. We'd have to look it up in the main parser._actions. Also parenting does not make copies of the Actions. It just copies references. That means any change to the main parser _SubParsersAction object is also a change to the parent's object. http://bugs.python.org/issue22401 discusses the problems involved changing an inherited argument. The method seems simple enough, but I'd like to see a better case for its value. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18769> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
