Easy-to-use argument manager for Python3.

argupy

Easy-to-use argument manager for Python3.

Instalation

To install argupy, run

pip3 install argupy

Usage

To use it in a Python script, first you need to import it.

from argupy import *

Then, initialize the Args class

argupy = Args()

and define any parameters you'll want to use later on.

argupy.setarg('--testarg', BOOL)

The setarg function takes these parameters:

• name: the parameter name, for example, '--test'
• type_: the parameter type, pass a constant like BOOL, STR, or FLOAT
• default_value: the default value to return if the argument is not present. Defaults to False if the argument is of type BOOL.

To define an argument which takes a value, use the types STR or FLOAT. Then retreive it with the Args.arg() method.

argupy.setarg('--testarg', STR)

value = argupy.arg('--testarg')

print(type(value), value)
# Running this code like this: 
# python3 file.py --testarg "hello world"
# would output: <class 'str'> hello world

If the argument type is set to STR, the returned value will be of type str. And again, if the argument is of type FLOAT, the returned value will be of type float, so you don't have to pass it through float(). Unless the argument is not present and the default value you specify is not of the corresponding type.
