arglite 0.3

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

`python |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

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) Programs will produce error messages when flags are missing
