parameters - Python: don't display 'choices' with argparse -
with argparse, have following line:
parser.add_argument("-p", "--parameter", type=str, default=none, nargs='+', help="some option", choices=allvalues.keys() ) the resulting help message shows values in allvalues:
-p {a ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m; ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m} [{a ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m} ...], --parameter {a ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m; ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m} [{a ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m; ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m} ...] option
can remove {a ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m; ,b ,c , d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m} above , just display name of parameter , help message?
use metavar argument::
parser.add_argument("-p", "--parameter", type=str, default=none, nargs='+', help="some option", choices=allvalues.keys(), metavar='parameter' ) this give::
-p parameter, --parameter parameter option if don't want show metavariable @ consider passing '' metavar. otherwise, believe have create own custom formatter classes , pass argumentparser.
