arglite 0.2

A lightweight, dynamic arg parser for fun, but not profit.

A lightweight, dynamic argument parsing library for Python programs with klugy support for typing variables.

I made this for a teaching machine project I’m working on (I needed a custom argument parser for _reasons_), and I’m always too impatient to use argparse.

Installation

Find this tool on PyPI: pip install arglite

Usage

Check this out:

import arglite

def main():

print(arglite.parser.a) print(arglite.parser.b) print(arglite.parser.c)

arglite.parser.display()

if __name__ == “__main__”:

main()

Run using: python main.py -a Yo –b that is -c.

Notes

No automatic -h flag yet; soon? Flags with no value are automatically converted to True boolean The module uses ast.literal_eval, so “{‘a’:’b’}” will convert to a dict (all quotes required)
