argdirective 0.0.10rc1

Argdirective is a python module to detect the first command line argument as subcommand.

The argdirective project

Argdirective is a simple module which takes the first argument passed to your python script as subcommand and tries to find a directive module based on the basename of the script.

Example: script.py subcommand --arg1 --arg2

Consider the following module:

site-packages
│   ...
│
└───configmount
│   │   mount

as well as the following executable script /bin/configmount

#!/bin/python

import argdirective

if __name__ == "__main__":
	argdirective.generator.run()

If you run configmount mount --root /etc /mnt/configmount in your terminal argdirective will lookup the configmount package and redirect the arguments to the module mount. See the configmount project for more details.
