An append action for argparse that overrides the default.
Project description
Provides oappend action for argparse that works almost like append, but skips the default list if the user gives any value for the option.
See issue 16399 for a discussion.
Example
You may import OverrideAppendAction and register it with a parser or use the provided parser:
from oappend import OverrideAppendArgumentParser
parser = OverrideAppendArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-n', action='oappend', type=int, default=[1, 2])
args = parser.parse_args(['-n3', '-n4']) # Namespace(n=[3, 4])
With the standard append action the option would be set to [1, 2, 3, 4], combining your default with user choices.
