Description (last modified by Ryan J Ollos)

Python has deprecated the optparse module and replaced it with ​argparse. The limited number of instances of optparse in the Trac codebase should be fairly easy to replace. ​optparse is deprecated in Python 2.7/3.2 and later.

Proposed changes in log:rjollos.git:t12148_argparse:

A few of the subtleties with the changes are:

  • ​ArgumentParser.error returns exit code 2 in cases where exit code 1 was previously returned.
  • More could be done to improve htdigest.py, but I will save that for later, likely as part of #8361.
  • I haven't tested on Windows or Linux yet.
