Given the command and arguments: ('setClocks', '[<on>] [<off>]', self.setClocks) # ...... keys.Key("on", types.Enum(*sorted([c.label for c in clockIDs.signals]))*(1,), help="signals to turn on"), keys.Key("off", types.Enum(*sorted([c.label for c in clockIDs.signals])), help="signals to turn off"), help for the one with variable length is not useful: ics_ccdActor[tickets/INSTRM-494%] $ oneCmd.py ccd_r7 help cmds=setClocks sent ccd_r7 help cmds=setClocks ccd_r7 i help="Usage: ccd_r7 setClocks [on=???]" ccd_r7 i help=" [off=CNV|I_M|P3|SW|S2|P1|TG|S1|I_P|RG|DG|CRC|IR|P2|SCK|DCR|IRQ]" ccd_r7 i help="" ccd_r7 i help="Set/clear given clock lines." Seems fixable, but I haven't looked. |
