[issue42980] argparse: GNU-style help formatter

2021-01-22 Thread Will Noble


Will Noble  added the comment:

Ya I was following the precedent of non-documentation figuring that formal 
documentation should be done for the entire class and that would be a much 
larger undertaking and maybe involve further refactoring. I could potentially 
undertake that task in the future but I think it's out-of-scope for this change.

[issue42980] argparse: GNU-style help formatter

2021-01-21 Thread Will Noble


Will Noble  added the comment:

The main contribution of my PR is simply factoring out _format_option_with_args 
as an overridable method. Note that this actually enables subclassing 
HelpFormatter to produce all the examples you presented above with 1-3 trivial 
lines of code, as opposed to overriding the entire _format_action_invocation 
which is 20 lines in the base class.

If HelpFormatter had a stable internal structure (i.e. some sort of assurance 
that it's overridable methods were not subject to change), I wouldn't have 
bothered including an implementation of GnuStyleLongOptionsHelpFormatter in 
this PR, since I could just implement it downstream as-needed. However, I chose 
to push it upstream because a) it's trivial and non-invasive and b) it 
establishes a use-case of _format_option_with_args for posterity, just in case 
anybody came in later and saw such a trivial, "private" (underscore-prefixed) 
method and decided to inline it.

This lack of perceived stability is alluded to in 
https://bugs.python.org/issue42966. My preferred solution would be to refactor 
HelpFormatter to have more overridable methods like this, make them 
non-"private", document them properly, and keep them relatively stable. In 
order to do that, we'd want to establish all the desired use-cases and be sure 
to craft the method structure in such a way that they're all supported. Since 
that would be a somewhat daunting design task and probably not high on the 
priority list atm, I think this small incremental improvement pushes things in 
the right direction; establishing a desirable use-case without committing to 
too many implementation details yet.

[issue42980] argparse: GNU-style help formatter

2021-01-20 Thread Will Noble


New submission from Will Noble :

argparse allows GNU-style long options (with '=' in between the option and the 
value as opposed to a space): 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#option-value-syntax

Call it pickiness, but I'd like to be able to print the help message in that 
format. Looking at the code, a simple refactor would be much cleaner than 
implementing my own custom help formatter and having to copy-paste a bunch of 
implementation details that are potentially subject to change in future 
releases. I'll submit a patch shortly.

[issue5288] tzinfo objects with sub-minute offsets are not supported (e.g. UTC+05:53:28)

2012-11-04 Thread Fergus Noble

Fergus Noble added the comment:

GPS time doesn't include leap seconds so I think datetime is a good 
representation. If datetime doesn't know about leap seconds then there would 
still be some issues with finding the timedelta between a GPS time and a UTC 
time straddling a leap second but I guess a similar issue also exists with two 
UTC times.

For my application all the times I am dealing with are in a short period and 
will have the same UTC offset so its a little easier, I can probably avoid most 
of these issues.

However, wouldn't it be possible to implement the general case with a 
non-constant utcoffset function (and new fromutc implementation) in the tzinfo 
class? Of course there is no way to properly handle UTC times more than 6 
months or so in the future...

Fergus Noble added the comment:

Digging up an old issue but I am also interested in seeing this enhancement. 
Specifically to represent GPS time which is (currently) 16 seconds ahead of UTC.
