[issue12713] argparse: allow abbreviation of sub commands by users
Christian Ziemski added the comment: I just made such a change to Python 2.7's argparse. If there is interest I'll post a patch here. Unfortunately I can't find the description how to produce a proper patch. The link I found (http://www.python.org/dev/patches/) gives an error 404. -- nosy: +chriz ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12713> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12713] argparse: allow abbreviation of sub commands by users
Christian Ziemski added the comment: I attached a patch against argparse.py from Python 2.7.1. Subcommmands can now be abbreviated as long as they are unambiguous. Otherwise an error message 'ambigous choice' will be thrown (like the 'invalid choice' one). (It's my first patch, so hopefully I did it right.) BTW: Éric mentioned aliases for argparse. For that I have done a patch too. I'll try to find the appropriate issue number here to post it. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22957/abbrev_subcmds.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12713> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Christian Ziemski added the comment: Since there seems to be no means to edit (my last) message a little followup regarding aliases: I found http://bugs.python.org/issue9234 "argparse: aliases for positional arguments (subparsers)" That one is for version 3.2 and already closed. So I'll stop bugging here with aliases. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12713> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Christian Ziemski added the comment: Just for my understanding: Even "the current development/testing version: Python 3.2.2 rc 1 (August 14, 2011)" isn't new enough here? So I'll have to find out how to install Python 3.3 in parallel to my 2.7.1 (on Fedora 15). Starting with "hg clone http://hg.python.org/cpython"; now. Until later (after reading http://docs.python.org/devguide/ by myself of course ;-) -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12713> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Christian Ziemski added the comment: Attached a patch against Python 3.3 All the existing tests are still running successfully. But I wasn't able to add additional tests for the new functionality. Writing proper tests is a bit over my head for now - still learning. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22973/abbrev_subcmds_3.3.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12713> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Christian Ziemski added the comment: Ouch, I really missed this one for a long time. :-( (I didn't understand the workflow correctly and overlooked the reviews.) I apologize to everyone who has been involved! Finally I'm back here and re-did my patch for 3.4 this time. I followed the comments of the reviewers (and Vinay's suggestion) as far as possible. -- versions: +Python 3.4 -Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29271/abbrev_subcmds_incl_tests_3.4.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12713> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
