Martin Panter added the comment: I definitely agree with removing the remark about the “const” value with store_const. People here seem to be overloading the terms “default” and “argument”. When using store_const, it seems the programmer must also specify a value for the “const” parameter to add_argument(). It is incorrect to say it is None if not explicitly set.
On the other hand, I think if the end user omits a CLI argument configured with store_const, then the argparse module will substitute None, or the value of the “default” parameter to add_argument(). For the original report about store_true/false, perhapse it would be sufficient to port revision 49677cc6d83a to Python 3. Although there is a stray “using” that should probably be fixed. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25314> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
