Helper Methods For argparse

efficient-args - Helper Methods For argparse

Provides some simple methods for setting up scripts / apps in a multi-environment context.

Usage

Installation:

    pip install efficient-args

This library was created to be used with scripts / apps that operate in multiple environments

from efficient_args import FORMATTER, addBaseArgs, addListArgs, parseArgs, parseCmdLineList
import argparse

if __name__ == "__main__":
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Example Command Parser", formatter_class=FORMATTER)

    addBaseArgs(parser, addEnvironment=True)
    addListArgs(parser, required=True, itemName="Words")
    argDict = parseArgs(parser)

    words = parseCmdLineList(argDict)
    print(words)

Results in the output:

    user@pc MINGW64 /efficient_args
    23:50:45 (env) $ python examples/ex1.py -f tests/itemList.txt
    {'environment': 'test', 'list': [], 'file': 'tests/itemList.txt'}
    ['x33', 'x88', 'x44']

Cloning For Development

Set up a virtual environment. Once an environment is set up, activate it and add dependencies with the following:

    pip install -r requirements/dev.txt

The dev.txt file includes:

• BLACK, a code formatter, see notes at the bottom of this file for details
• build, which provides the support for the building of the package

To run tests:

    python -m unittest discover -s tests/

Code Formatting

Code formatting is done using BLACK. BLACK allows almost no customization to how code is formatted with the exception of line length, which has been set to 119 characters.

Use the following to bulk format files:

    black . -l 144

Creating A New Release

1. Run tests
2. Code format
3. Be sure to update the change log and _metadata.json with version and notes
4. git add, commit, and push changes
