Inspection based parser based on argparse.
Project description
python-argufy
Overview
Inspection based parser built on argparse. Build complex CLI interfaces by writing more code-complete applications.
Motivation
Argufy is designed to be an alternative to decorator based parsers such as Click. Decorators have limitations that prevent effective use of inspection without drawbacks. This parser easilly allows a CLI to be created with minimal effort while enabling inspection.
Install
pip install argufy
Create CLI module with a command and an argument.
def example(argument: bool = False):
"""Provide an example command.
Parameters
----------
argument: bool, optional
Provide an example argument.
"""
if argument:
print('This is a true argument')
else:
print('This is a false argument')
Create a parser
from argufy import Parser
from . import cli
def main():
"""Do main function for CLI."""
parser = Parser()
parser.add_commands(cli)
parser.dispatch()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Example help message.
$ command --help
usage: command [-h] {example} ...
positional arguments:

example Provide an example command.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Example command help message.
$ command example --help
