The output of "python -h" is 104 lines long now. It was only 51 lines in 3.6. 35% of it is about the -X option, and 30% about environment variables. Also some lines in the -X option description are too long (102 columns). Both topics are "advanced" and mostly interested for debugging. I suggest to move them out of the main help output.
The are two options: 1. Move it to pydoc topics. The advantage is that it is a standard way, there are already 88 topics. The disadvantage is that this information will be not available in "minimal" installations of Python which do not include docs. 2. Add command-line options like -hX and -henv. The information will always be available with the interpreter, but the interface is special. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/QUUBM7DGSXYWBOLZNWOSCQUDALWJIYZF/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
