Re: CLI parsing—with `--help` text—`--foo bar`, how to give additional parameters to `bar`?

Hi Dan, The feature that existing CLI parsers are missing is a clean syntax for specifying options on the second parameter (the "value"), where there may be different options available depending on which you choose. For example: https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/optimizers/Adam

--optimizer Adam,learning_rate=0.01,something_else=3 That syntax isn’t so bad! =] How would you suggest the help text for this looks? (don’t worry about implementation, just what goes to stdout/stderr) PS: Yeah I used square brackets for my Bash arrays On Fri, 16 Oct 2020 at 10:26 am, Cameron
