Bug #1498146: fix optparse to handle Unicode strings in option help,

2006-06-11T16:24:11+00:00

description, and epilog.

("Forward-port" of r46506)

2006-05-28T19:13:17+00:00

Remove various dependencies on dictionary order in the standard library
tests, and one (clearly an oversight, potentially critical) in the
standard library itself - base64.py.

Remaining open issues:
 * test_extcall is an output test, messy to make robust
 * tarfile.py has a potential bug here, but I'm not familiar
   enough with this code.  Filed in as SF bug #1496501.
 * urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgr() returns a random result if there is more
   than one matching root path.  I'm asking python-dev for
   clarification...

Whitespace normalization.

Update optparse to Optik 1.5.1.

2006-04-23T03:47:58+00:00

Reduce the usage of the types module.

2005-02-07T14:16:21+00:00

Change code in setup.py for parsing LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS to use optparse

2004-12-07T03:25:18+00:00

instead of getopt.  Required making use of gettext._ as optional (optparse
changed OK'ed by Greg Ward in private email).

Update optparse module and test suite to Optik 1.5a2.

2004-10-27T02:20:04+00:00

Use proper value for False

Upgrade optparse module and tests to Optik 1.5a1:

2004-07-31T16:15:44+00:00

  * add expansion of default values in help text: the string
    "%default" in an option's help string is expanded to str() of
    that option's default value, or "none" if no default value.
  * bug #955889: option default values that happen to be strings are
    now processed in the same way as values from the command line; this
    allows generation of nicer help when using custom types.  Can
    be disabled with parser.set_process_default_values(False).
  * bug #960515: don't crash when generating help for callback
    options that specify 'type', but not 'dest' or 'metavar'.
  * feature #815264: change the default help format for short options
    that take an argument from e.g. "-oARG" to "-o ARG"; add
    set_short_opt_delimiter() and set_long_opt_delimiter() methods to
    HelpFormatter to allow (slight) customization of the formatting.
  * patch #736940: internationalize Optik: all built-in user-
    targeted literal strings are passed through gettext.gettext().  (If
    you want translations (.po files), they're not included with Python
    -- you'll find them in the Optik source distribution from
    http://optik.sourceforge.net/ .)
  * bug #878453: respect $COLUMNS environment variable for
    wrapping help output.
  * feature #988122: expand "%prog" in the 'description' passed
    to OptionParser, just like in the 'usage' and 'version' strings.
    (This is *not* done in the 'description' passed to OptionGroup.)
