argparse-dantic 0.2.2

Typed Argument Parsing with Pydantic enhanced version

Argparse Dantic

Typed Argument Parsing with Pydantic Enhanced

Requirements

Requires Python 3.10+, and is compatible with the Pydantic library. Use Rich for better console output.

Installation

Installation with pip is simple:

$ pip install argparse-dantic

Example

from argparse_dantic import ArgumentParser, BaseModel, ArgumentField

class Arguments(BaseModel):
    """Simple Command-Line Arguments."""

    # Required Args
    string: str = ArgumentField("-s", description="a required string")
    integer: int = ArgumentField("-i", description="a required integer")
    flag: bool = ArgumentField("-f", description="a required flag")

    # Optional Args
    second_flag: bool = ArgumentField("-sec", default=False, description="an optional flag")
    third_flag: bool = ArgumentField("-thi", default=True, description="an optional flag")

def main() -> None:
    """Simple Main Function."""
    # Create Parser and Parse Args
    parser = ArgumentParser(
        model_class=Arguments,
        prog="Example Program",
        description="Example Description",
        version="0.0.1",
        epilog="Example Epilog",
    )
    args = ["-h"]
    arguments = parser.parse_typed_args(args)

    # Print Args
    print(arguments)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

$ python3 example.py --help
Example Description

Usage: Example Program [-h] [-v] [--s STRING] [--i INTEGER] [--f] [--sec] [--no-thi]

Optional Arguments:
  -s, --string STRING   a required string (default: None)
  -i, --integer INTEGER
                        a required integer (default: None)
  -f, --flag            a required flag (default: None)
  -sec, --second-flag   an optional flag (default: False)
  -no-thi, --no-third-flag
                        an optional flag (default: True)

Help:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit

Example Epilog

$ python3 example.py --string hello -i 42 -f
string='hello' integer=42 flag=True second_flag=False third_flag=True
