Description

Additional custom types to be used with argparse

How to use

Import argparse_custom_types setup the custom type then pass the function to the type keyword in argparse.add_argument()

Types

• int_range

  • custom int in range from start to stop (not including) optional step

  def int_range(start: int, stop: int, step: int = 1):
  

  • example:

  t = int_range(5, 21, 5)
  

  int types 5, 10, 15, 20 would be accepted

• int_above

  def int_above(minimum: int):
  

  • int equal to or above the minimum entered
  • example:

  t = int_above(40)
  

  int types 40 and above would be accepted

• int_below

  def int_below(maximum: int):
  

  • int equal to or below maximum
  • example:

  t = int_below(25)
  

  int types 25 or below would be accepted

• int_even

  def int_even(pos_number: bool = True, neg_number: bool = False,include_zero: bool = False):
  

  • even int with option to include negative, zero or exclude positive
  • example:

  t = int_even(neg_number=True)
  

  int types 2, -30, 102 would be accepted int types 1, -29, 101 would not be accepted

• int_odd

  def int_odd(pos_number: bool = True, neg_number: bool = False,include_zero: bool = False):
  

  • odd int with option to include negative, zero or exclude positive
  • example:

  t = int_odd(neg_number=True)
  

  int types 1, -29, 101 would be accepted int types 2, -30, 102 would not be accepted

• in_sequence_strings

  def in_sequence_strings(sequence: Union[Tuple[str], List[str]],
                          show_on_invalid: bool = False,
                          case_sensitive: bool = True):
  

  • Value that is in the tuple or list and returns that value as a string.
  • example:

  t = in_sequence_strings(["one", "test", "parser"])
  

  any value not in the list ["one", "test", "parser"] will not be accepted

• in_sequence_ints

• def in_sequence_ints(sequence: Union[List[int], Tuple[int]],
                       show_on_invalid: bool = False):
  

  • Int value in sequence will be accepted and return a int value
