[New-bugs-announce] [issue29807] ArgParse page in library reference rewrite

[Steve Carter]

New submission from Steve Carter:

Originally raise as https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues/1059

Although it's a reference page, it is clouded by too many examples and too little reference material. Moreover, the examples are not real-world applications of argument parsing.

I propose removing the "process some integers" example, replacing it with something more typically gnu style, e.g., myapp.py [--quiet] [--log-level _n_] [--title=STR] {get | put} [FSPEC [, FSPEC...]]. This shows the user how to to many of the common command-line tasks.

[I'm tentatively offering to do this, but I haven't yet found the content I need to revise.]
