[issue15935] clarify argparse docs re: add_argument() type and default arguments
New submission from Chris Jerdonek: This issue is to clarify in the documentation the argparse behavior for which tests were added in issue 15906. The behavior involves when the type callable should be applied to default arguments. See, for example, the following comment for what roughly needs to be added: http://bugs.python.org/issue15906#msg170404 I will provide a patch. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 170421 nosy: barry, bethard, cjerdonek, docs@python, r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: clarify argparse docs re: add_argument() type and default arguments type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15935> _______________________________________
