Python Distutils-SIG: Design Proposal

Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

...in the real world, where a program's default (no-keep-tmp in this case) might be overridden by a config file, and then overridden again on the command-line. This weakness is currently reflected in all three of my test re-implementations. Internal interfaces Internally, Ripoff works by passing around a single object that contains all the values from the command-line. E.g., the user-selected verbosity level is in options.verbose, and the CD-ROM device file is in options.device. T...
Python Getopt SIG

...independently proposed adding Optik to the standard library. This kicked off a brief thread on python-dev, the outcome of which is that Paul Prescod posted a request for comments to get input from the wider community. Several people chimed in with their opinions, and Guido told us to go off and figure out a solution, then report back to python-dev. Comparing some libraries I decided the only fair way to compare various libraries is to implement the same command-line interface wi...
