Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
At the moment, argparse.BooleanOptionalAction
gives e.g. --foo
vs --no-foo
, whose prefix is hardcoded:
Line 848 in cd516cd
option_string = '--no-' + option_string[2:] |
Line 863 in cd516cd
setattr(namespace, self.dest, not option_string.startswith('--no-')) |
It would be beneficial if we can change the prefixes of the binary options: e.g. --enable-
vs --disable-
like autoconf.
usage: [-h] [--enable-foo | --disable-foo]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--enable-foo, --disable-foo
helpstring for foo
