./devel/py-argparse-manpage, Build manual page from pythons ArgumentParser object

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.6, Package name: py311-argparse-manpage-4.6, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Avoid documenting your Python script arguments on two places! This
is typically done in an argparse.ArgumentParser help configuration
(help=, description=, etc.), and also in a manually crafted manual
page.

The good thing about an ArgumentParser objects is that it actually
provides a traversable "tree-like" structure, with all the necessary
info needed to automatically generate documentation, for example
in a groff typesetting system (manual pages). And this is where
this project can help.

Log message:
python/wheel.mk: simplify a lot, and switch to 'installer' for installation

This follows the recommended bootstrap method (flit_core, build, installer).

However, installer installs different files than pip, so update PLISTs
for all packages using wheel.mk and bump their PKGREVISIONs.

Log message:
py-argparse-manpage: updated to 4.5

News in v4.5

* We newly provide `build_manpages.build_py` and `build_manpages.install`
  command classes that are re-usable from `pyproject.toml`.  No need to
  provide `setup.py` because of `argparse-manpage`.

News in v4.4

* The `prog=` specifier (in setup.py/setup.cfg/pyproject.toml) is now
  better handled so it doesn't conflict with ArgumentParser(prog=..).
