New submission from Chuanlong Du <longe...@gmail.com>:
I have command-line script `blog` written using argparse. It supports subcommands. When I check the help doc of a subcommand, e.g., using `blog convert -h`, it prints the help doc of the subcommand `blog convert` but doesn't print the description of the subcommand `blog convert`. A screenshot is attached. It is quite often that I know a command-line application have certain subcommands but I forget exactly what they do. It would be very helpful if `blog subcmd -h` prints the description of the subcmd so that users do not have to call `blog -h` again to check exactly what the subcommand does. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: Selection_011.png messages: 402541 nosy: longendu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make argparse print description of subcommand when invoke help doc on subcommand type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file50301/Selection_011.png _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45275> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
