Comments on: Python’s optparse for human beings http://www.alexonlinux.com/pythons-optparse-for-human-beings Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:17:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Sn3akyP3t3 http://www.alexonlinux.com/pythons-optparse-for-human-beings/comment-page-1#comment-24945 Sn3akyP3t3 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 21:45:09 +0000 http://www.alexonlinux.com/?p=1162#comment-24945 This article seems clear and descriptive, but isn't useful as a complete tutorial in my experience. I'm trying to take action on a bool value once set. I'm having difficulty finding the correct function call to verify and use the stored value. This tutorial shows how to set values and display help which is all nice and all, but incomplete for most human beings. Now with version 2.7+ optparse is replaced with argparse as someone commented a link to above. However, for those running older versions such as myself I invite you to add the missing portions to make this completed. Thanks for all done thus-far.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('24945','Sn3akyP3t3'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('24945','Sn3akyP3t3','This article seems clear and descriptive, but isn\'t useful as a complete tutorial in my experience.
