Optparse doesn't support 'choice' and 'mchoice' option types #251

Open josenavas opened 10 years ago

josenavas commented 10 years ago

Although they are defined in PyqiOption, there is no way of providing the list of available values in the config module: OptparseOption does not support the Choices keyword argument.

The __init__ function of OptparseOption should be modified as it is done in HTMLInputOption.

This is required for #249

Related to/possible duplicate of #240

josenavas commented 10 years ago

I think it is related but not duplicate: #240 is for supporting the choice (or multiple_choice) at command level (note that here is for OptparseOption - and it is support by PyqiOption but currently can never be used).

Good point

I'm working on this issue, so it can be assigned to me.
