@@ -539,6 +539,35 @@ help message:
default value. If an option has no default value (or the default value is
``None``), ``%default`` expands to ``none``.
When dealing with many options, it is convenient to group these
options for better help output. An :class:`OptionParser` can contain
several option groups, each of which can contain several options.
Continuing with the parser defined above, adding an
:class:`OptionGroup`
to a parser is easy::
group = OptionGroup(parser, "Dangerous Options",
"Caution: use these options at your own risk. "
"It is believed that some of them bite.")
group.add_option("-g", action="store_true", help="Group option.")
parser.add_option_group(group)
This would result in the following help output::
usage: [options] arg1 arg2
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose make lots of noise [default]
-q, --quiet be vewwy quiet (I'm hunting wabbits)
-fFILE, --file=FILE write output to FILE
-mMODE, --mode=MODE interaction mode: one of 'novice', 'intermediate'
[default], 'expert'
Dangerous Options:
Caution: use of these options is at your own risk. It is believed that
some of them bite.
-g Group option.
