captain subparsers #46

Closed Jaymon closed 4 years ago

Jaymon commented 6 years ago

is this needed?

subparsers.required = True # https://bugs.python.org/issue9253#msg186387

I added it in bounce and just added it to the new cli stuff in pout, but it doesn't look like captain has it when it does subcommands.

I think the flow should be, if you have a main command, then subparsers.required should be set to False because if you didn't include a subcommand main() would be run, but if there is no main then subparsers.required should be set to True because it would be required

the current state of the art on how I want subparsers and help to be displayed is in pout's __main__.py file, it prints a description and help for --help both before and after the subcommand and prints an ok abbreviated error message when no subcommand is given
