From a python-dev email from Neal Becker, copied here so it won't get lost. ---------------------------- [email protected] made a very nice module for me to enhance argparse called argparse_bool.py, which contains ConfigureAction. This will allow a boolean value to be set very like the gnu configure style: --foo --with-foo --without-foo --no-foo --foo=yes --foo=no I've been happily using it, and I think it would be of sufficient general interest to include it with the standard library.
