+1 - modernization is good. optparse was very good in its time, but too clunky now<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 1:30 PM, Michael Foord <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael@voidspace.org.uk">michael@voidspace.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Upfront people need to realize that we might have three argument<br>
parsing libraries for a while, but it won't be forever. If we get<br>
argparse accepted we would slowly deprecate at least optparse, if not<br>
getopt (lat time I tried to ditch getopt for Python 3 some argued that<br>
getopt supported stuff optparse didn't), out of the standard library<br>
and toss them into PyPI for those who refuse to switch. The standard<br>
library might not evolve a lot, but it isn't dead or in stone.<br>
<br>
But before this can happen, people need to have a general consensus<br>
that I should bug Steven about contributing as it will require a PEP<br>
from him. Steven already has commit privileges to maintenance from him<br>
will not be a problem.<br>
<br>
So if you want this to actually happen and for me to start talking to<br>
Steven just reply to this email w/ a vote.<br>
