steven.bethard@gmail.com made a very nice module for me to enhance argparse called argparse_bool.py, which contains ConfigureAction. This will allow a boolean value to be set very like the gnu configure style: --foo --with-foo --without-foo --no-foo --foo=yes --foo=no I've been happily using it, and I think it would be of sufficient general interest to include it with the standard library.

I would argue that since argparse is now in the standard library, it should be primarily maintained on {bugs, svn}.python.org. We have enough synchronization problems with externally maintained modules. Regards Antoine.

+1. This would be a very nice addition to argparse in the stdlib. -Barry
Sounds good to me (subject to arguing about spellings, case insensitivity, etc.). Just so it doesn't get lost, I created issue 8538 to track it. Neal Becker wrote:
