| optparse uses sys.argv[0] for the program name even if you supply the prog argument to OptionParser.__init__ ie, if you have p = OptionParser(prog='NEW_NAME'), p.print_usage, p.print_help, p.error, etc. don't use NEW_NAME as %prog. This is with Python 2.3.2 | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=3066 Unfortunately, the patch breaks some of the existing tests for optparse. I've committed a fix that doesn't require changing the existing tests and that adds new tests so this doesn't break in the future. Fixed for Python 2.3.4 and 2.4: Lib/optparse.py 1.8, 1.5.8.2 Lib/test/test_optparse.py 1.3, 1.2.8.2 |
