Argflow

Argflow is a fast, lightweight, and modular argument parser for Python. It is designed as a simpler alternative to argparse, ideal for small to medium CLI scripts.

Features

• Minimal and easy-to-use API.
• Modular callbacks for each argument-
• Extremely fast parsing (~70 lines of code).
• Built-in helper.
• Super flexible.

Argflow vs Argparse

Note: argparse has more features, so its execution time is naturally higher.

Benchmark for a single argument:

• Argflow is ~98% faster than argparse for parsing.
• Demonstrates how a compact library can create powerful and fast CLIs.

Reliability

• Argflow is relatively new and still in active development.
• Suitable for personal projects and experiments, but use with caution in critical production environments.

Example Usage

from argflow import argflow

ag = argflow()

@ag.new_argument(flag="--hello", helper="Just, welcoming...", example="--hello=Jack") # Adding new argument
def hello(name):
    print("Hello, " name + "!")

ag.parse() # Parsing

Command line:

python script.py --hello=Alice
# Output: Hello, Alice!
