R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: I think this is a documentation bug, since IMO help should print on stdout, not stderr[1]. I would expect print_usage to do likewise, but for the error to tell print_usage to write to stderr when it calls it...which is exactly what the code does.
[1] I know some unix commands print help to stderr, and this really annoys me when I pipe long help output to less....and it *still* scrolls off the screen. ---------- assignee: -> d...@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +bethard, d...@python, r.david.murray stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10728> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
