default value for an option with multiple=True

[mitsuhiko]

This currently does indeed not work and the reason for this is that default is applied for individual values as it goes through the types. This is actually not such a simple change and I'm not sure if it makes sense fixing.

[Raynes]

I see your point, but it seems conceptually flawed that I'm unable to set a default set of values for something that is always going to be a set of values. I can obviously just handle defaults myself (which is what I'm doing now), but this really feels unintuitive.

Any thoughts?

Also, thanks for this library. It's pretty darn swell.

[RNAer]

can we check if the default is Sequence object? If it is, then check type iterativley; if not, do the checking that click current does.

Is this the same problem I'm running into with nargs > 1?

[mitsuhiko]

You cannot set defaults for either nargs > 1 or multiple currently.

[mitsuhiko]

This is fixed now for 3.x.

This still does not work for nargs > 1 or nargs == -1
