optmatch 0.9.2

command line parsing library

optmatch - Library to allow an easy and effective parsing of command line options.

Full documentation: http://coderazzi.net/python/optmatch

optmatch is based on expressing the actions -with all options and related flags- that are supported, instead of just listing all possible argument flags.

For example:

class Example(OptionMatcher):

@optset

def handle_common_flag(self, mail_option):

…

@optmatcher

def handle_compression(self, filename, compress_flag =False):

…

@optmatcher(flags=’verbose’, options=’mode’)

def handle(self, filename, verbose=False, mode=’simple’, where=None):

…

In this example:

1. It is defined a common flag (–mail)

2. It is defined an action, supporting a –compress flag which is False by default, and requiring a filename parameter

3. It is defined a second action, supporting a –verbose flag and a –mode option, requiring one or two file locations.
