New submission from Mark Roddy <markro...@gmail.com>: In the 'Terminology' section of the optparse module documentation, under the description of the term 'required option', a reference to example implementations of this concept are stated to be available in two example files of the source distribution:
"See examples/required_1.py and examples/required_2.py in the optparse source distribution for two ways to implement required options with optparse." These two files do not appear to have ever been available with python but are found in the original 'Optik' distribution that this module is derived from. I am guessing that this is a result of the documentation being copied when the module was added to the standard library as it also appears in the Optik documentation almost verbatim: http://optik.sourceforge.net/doc/1.5/tao.html Suggest the reference to these files: 1) Be removed as to prevent confusion as to their existence/location 2) Be updated to point to the Optik source on source forge 3) Merge the examples in line with the documentation or 4) Some other option I have not thought of ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 95780 nosy: MarkRoddy, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: optparse Documentation References Example Files that do not Exist type: feature request versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7404> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
