From 6e887bb05fe619448e33a429e226ad0a5b5c7a8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raymond Hettinger Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 04:35:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] SF bug #729096: getopt online documentation example improvement A newbie found it difficult to translate the exampe into a case that used only short options or long options but not both. He tried to shorten the tuple search but forgot the trailing comma, The appropriate pattern is an equality check. Revised the example to point him in the right direction. Backport candidate. --- Doc/lib/libgetopt.tex | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Doc/lib/libgetopt.tex b/Doc/lib/libgetopt.tex index 49e6e03ffd..558aafacaf 100644 --- a/Doc/lib/libgetopt.tex +++ b/Doc/lib/libgetopt.tex @@ -123,13 +123,16 @@ import getopt, sys def main(): try: - opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "ho:", ["help", "output="]) + opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "ho:v", ["help", "output="]) except getopt.GetoptError: # print help information and exit: usage() sys.exit(2) output = None + verbose = False for o, a in opts: + if o == "-v": + verbose = True if o in ("-h", "--help"): usage() sys.exit() -- 2.50.1
