I currently have it done this way. It just seems a bit odd that I have to arrange it manually.
What's so special about alphabetical order? Wouldn't it make more sense for related options to be kept together? E.g.: Usage: make_sandwich [OPTIONS] --bread KIND white, multigrain, rye, black, sourdough or wholemeal. --style "light"|"dark" Defaults to "light" if not given. Ignored unless bread=rye. --meat KIND chicken, ham, turkey, pastrami, salami, spam or beef rather than: --bread KIND white, multigrain, rye, black, sourdough or wholemeal. --meat KIND chicken, ham, turkey, pastrami, salami, spam or beef --style "light"|"dark" Defaults to "light" if not given. Ignored unless bread=rye. Obviously with only three options it doesn't make much difference, but suppose you had two dozen options. Alphabetical order means that related options will be scattered all over the place. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
