POSIX-conformant command-line option parser (plus long options)
Project description
POSIX-conformant command-line option parser (plus long options)
Use it like this:
import pgetopt
ovc, args = pgetopt.parse({
# opt: (name, type, default value, helptext[, arg name])
"s": ("schmooze", bool, 0, "increase schmooziness"),
"o": ("output_file", str, None, "output file (or stdout)", "NAME"),
"n": ("repetitions", int, 3, "number of repetitions"),
"d": ("debug", str, [], "debug topics", "DEBUG_TOPIC"),
# keyword: value
"_arguments": ["string_to_print", "..."],
"_help_header": "print a string a number of times",
"_help_footer": "This is just an example program.",
})
On return, the option value container ovc
has the following fields:
ovc.schmooze
: the number of -s
options counted,
ovc.output_file
: the parameter of -o
or --output-file
, or None
ovc.repetitions
: the parameter of -n
or --repetitions
, or 3
ovc.debug
: a list with all parameters given to -d
or --debug
Options -h
, --help
, -?
, --usage
are installed by default and
print a help message or a brief usage message, respectively.
args
holds the remaining arguments behind the last option.
Call help(pgetopt)
for details.
