[issue14191] argparse doesn't allow optionals within positionals
by R. David Murray Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

R. David Murray added the comment: I've turned intermixed.patch into a PR. I tweaked the documentation so that it does not refer to the details of the implementation. I tweaked the implementation to have the 'try' start before the code that modifies the state, and did the line wrapping to <80 columns. I have one concern about this patch: parse_intermixed_args doesn't support all of the argparse features. It feels to me like it is worthwhile to add anyway, and maybe someone will figure out how to support more features later. But I'd like at least one other committer to concur :) Given concurrence I'll add news and what's new entries. paul.j3: I'm trying to review argparse patches during this core sprint week, so if you have anything in particular you want me to focus on, please let me know. ---------- stage: -> patch review type: behavior -> enhancement versions: +Python 3.7 -Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14191> _______________________________________

[issue16988] argparse: PARSER option for nargs not documented
by Robert Leenders Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

New submission from Robert Leenders: There is a value for nargs: PARSER="A..." which is not documented at http://docs.python.org/3.4/library/argparse.html#nargs. The docstring for the action class in argparse.py also does not list PARSER as a valid value for nargs. In argparse.py on line 2199-2201 it says: # Allow one argument followed by any number of options or arguments elif nargs == PARSER: nargs_pattern = '(-*A[-AO]*)' This is the only hint that I could find on what it is about. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 180155 nosy: ReDAeR, bethard, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: argparse: PARSER option for nargs not documented type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16988> _______________________________________

All doc download links seem broken
by Christophe CACHAT Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

Dear members of the Python team, It seems all the links to download PDF or ePub versions of documentation are broken (tried version 2.7 to 3.7dev without success) either as .zip or .tar.bz2. Only 404 message from nginx. I used https://docs.python.org/3/download.html from the main https://docs.python.org page "Download these documents”. Thanks in advance for fixing them, I travel a lot and wanted to have them available offline to work when airline does not offer wifi. Best regards, Christophe CACHAT
