ipython-args 1.0.2

A utility for seamless argument parsing in IPython notebooks and Python scripts.

Python Argument Parser for Notebooks and Scripts

Introduction

This Python module provides a versatile argument parsing solution that works seamlessly both in Jupyter notebooks (or similar environments) and standard Python scripts. It allows the same code to accept arguments in two different contexts, making it easier to write code that is flexible and easy to test.

Features

• Dual Compatibility : Works with Jupyter notebooks and standard Python scripts.
• Easy Integration : Simple to integrate into existing Python projects.
• Dynamic Argument Parsing : Automatically switches between easydict and argparse depending on the execution environment.

Requirements

• easydict
• argparse

Installation

Ensure that you have easydict installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install easydict

Usage

Defining Arguments

First, define your arguments in a dictionary format. For example:

args_dict = {
    "arg1": value1,
    "arg2": value2,
    // Add more arguments as needed
}

Parsing Arguments

Then, simply call the ipython_args function with your arguments dictionary:

args = ipython_args(args_dict)

In a Jupyter notebook environment, args will be an EasyDict object, allowing you to access arguments using dot notation (args.arg1). In a standard script, args will be the usual argparse.Namespace object.

Checking Environment

The is_notebook function can be used independently to check if the code is running in a Jupyter notebook environment.

Example

Here's a simple example demonstrating how to use this module:

from ipython_args import ipython_args

# Define your arguments here
args_dict = {
    "epoch": 10,
    "learning_rate": 0.001
}

# Parse arguments
args = ipython_args(args_dict)

# Accessing arguments
print(args.epoch)
print(args.learning_rate)

You can use is_notebook function to check the environment is notebook or not

from ipython_args import is_notebook

# Check whether the current environment is notebook shell or not
current_env_notebook = is_notebook())
