Example

environparse has a built-in HTTP server startup script to demonstrate the basic usage of environparse. To access it, run the following command to see help messages:

$ > pwd
/tmp
$ > LANGUAGE=en_SG.UTF-8 HELP= python -m environparse.examples.httpserver
Usage: [ENVS]... httpserver.py [ARGS]...

An script to start a http server, but use `environparse` to demonstrate the option parsing.

The following environment variables will be preemptively parsed and exit after performing the operation:
    HELP=[...]    Show this help message and exit.

Unless otherwise stated, all options are optional by default.
List of available environment variables [ENVS]:
    BIND_ADDRESS=[STRING]    Bind to a specified address. Leave empty to bind all interfaces.
    BIND_PORT=[INTEGER]      Bind to a specified port.                                       
                             [Default: 6282]                                                 
    ROOTDIR=[PATH]           Serve a specified directory.                                    
                             [Default: /tmp]                                                 

Do not forget the warning from `http.server` documentation:
http.server is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks.

environparse even support localization:

用法：[环境变量]... httpserver.py [参数]...

An script to start a http server, but use `environparse` to demonstrate the option parsing.

以下环境变量将被抢先解析，并在运行操作后退出：
    HELP=[...]    显示此帮助信息并退出。

除非另有说明，所有选项默认都是可选的。
可用的 [环境变量] 列表：
    BIND_ADDRESS=[字符串]    Bind to a specified address. Leave empty to bind all interfaces.
    BIND_PORT=[整数]         Bind to a specified port.                                       
                             [默认值：6282]                                                  
    ROOTDIR=[PATH]           Serve a specified directory.                                    
                             [默认值：/tmp]

Now, try to test the HTTP server:

$ > ROOTDIR="$HOME/Music" BIND_ADDRESS='127.127.127.127' python /tmp/scratch.py
Consumed names of environment variables:
['BIND_ADDRESS', 'ROOTDIR']
Parsed options:
{'BIND_ADDRESS': '127.127.127.127', 'BIND_PORT': 6282, 'rootdir': PosixPath('/home/user/Music')}
