argparse: allow abbreviation of sub commands by users A patch was implemented, and then reverted when it was found to be buggy. Subcommands are not parsed the same as long options. Subcommands are actually 'choices' of a positional argument. Trying to allow abbreviations of subcommands allowed them in all 'choices', resulting in backward compatibility problems. I recommend using the suparser alias mechanism instead. (I think this issue should be closed). ---------- nosy: +paul.j3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33343> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
