arguing 1.3.8

Create nice CLIs without bloating your apps.

Arguing

Arguing is a Lightweight and simple Argument parsing library that gives you all the control, no third party libraries.

Installation

You can use PIP to install the library.

pip install arguing

Use

After installing the library, here's a brief tutorial.

import arguing

argument = arguing.set(
    '--argument',  # Argument name.
    type=str,  # Type of the argument, by default string.
    default='default_value',  # If the user don't pass the flag or it doesn't have a value, it will be automatically setted to this. 
    help='Help.'  # Help message
    # You can also add required arguments witht the "required" parameter (Bool)!
)
# Also, you can define a variable to the function and it will return the argument value.

arguing.get('--argument')
# arguing.get() returns the parameters value
# It will return it converted to the selected type on arguing.set() if used
# If arguing.get() can't get the parameters value, it will return the default on arguing.set() or None.

# In case you wan't to check if the user passed an specific argument you can use:
arguing.check('--argument') # Checks if argument is on ARGV and if it has a value, returns Bool.


print(arguing.get('--argument'))
print(argument)
# Both are valid

What's new

• [Added] Now, you can receive input from pipes with the .pipe() function.
• [Fixed bug] .check() would return True even if the flag does not have any value.
• [Fixed bug] When adding flag without a value, raises IndexError. Should return it's default value or None.
