1.7.5

Slightly simplified PyPI deployment workflow via setuptools-scm

1.7.4

Bug Fixes

• Fix environment variables being ignored when using subparsers (#350). The _find_insertion_index() method now detects subparser commands and inserts env var / config file args before the subcommand, so the parent parser processes them correctly.

Improvements

• Add input validation to ArgumentParser.init() with clear error messages (#349):
  • config_file_parser_class must be a ConfigFileParser subclass (or instance); suggests formatter_class if wrong type is passed
  • formatter_class validates it's a HelpFormatter subclass; suggests config_file_parser_class if swapped
  • default_config_files, args_for_setting_config_path, and args_for_writing_out_config_file must be lists/tuples, not strings
  • config_file_open_func must be callable

Docs

• Convert README from reStructuredText to Markdown (#347, #348)

1.7.3

• Fix SyntaxError leak from ast.literal_eval in INI-style config parsers (#345)
• Fix -- separator, nargs=REMAINDER, and empty value handling (#344)
• Fix critical bugs and add Python 3.11+ tomllib support (#340)

Other
