Shawn Morel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:
gpolo: The argument still doesn't hold. As you point out, it's the
Values class output from __str__ and other behaviour that is being un-
pythonic and leading you to believe it's a dictionary. Adding the
__itter__ method would only make this worse. Then someone else would
surely ask to have another __*__ method added since dictionaries support
it but values don't.
The question then is one for optik. Why doesn't values simply inherit
from dict and why does it insist on using __setattr__ rather than
actually behaving completely like a dictionary. I know I was completely
surprised by the following:
>>> (opts, args) = parser.parse_args(values={})
>>> print opts
{}
>>>
