[issue22738] improve sys.argv, 'python -h' documentation
R. David Murray added the comment: I don't understand how your suggested change would affect the font size issue (nor do I really understand it as a sentence). For your second suggestion (which is unrelated), how about instead: -c str : interpret str as a program (terminates option list) That would make the phrasing more consistent with the text for the other options. -- nosy: +r.david.murray ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue22738] improve sys.argv, 'python -h' documentation
Van Ly added the comment: The font choice is a matter of style beyond me. I commented on it as I saw it. The second rendering looks in Capital relative to the first rendering. The problem wasn't there in v.2.7.5. In saying that, perhaps the information would be picked up by someone knowledgeable about the style sheet. The focus of the suggestion is in the head line about the wording. I chose 'feed' because it would align with the theme of python and pickling. 'interpret' isn't as nice a picture word. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue22738] improve sys.argv, 'python -h' documentation
New submission from Van Ly: I was looking at sys.argv from the reference guide. The font mix and change from v.2.7.5 to v.3.5.0a0 for sentence two of sys.argv (library/sys.html#module-sys) has made the second rendering of -c look capital when in fact it isn't. --quote: from v.3.5.0a0 at library/sys.html#module-sys If the command was executed using the -c command line option to the interpreter, argv[0] is set to the string '-c'. --quote-- --suggest: improve second sentence of sys.argv (v.2.7.5, v.3.5.0a0) Call the Python interpreter with the option, -c str, and the value of argv[0] is '-c'. --suggest-- --suggest: improve 'python -h' output -c str : feed in a string as program (terminates option list) --suggest-- -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 230059 nosy: docs@python, vy0123 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: improve sys.argv, 'python -h' documentation type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22738 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
