Show and print the content of argparse.Namespace (args) objects for debugging.
Project description
Print a nicely formatted view of an argparse.Namespace object for debugging purposes:
import sys import argparse import printargs def main(args): printargs.show(args) # do somthing with args def get_argument_parser(): p = argparse.ArgumentParser() p.add_argument('-f', '--foo', action='store') p.add_argument('-b', '--bar', action='store', type=int) p.add_argument('-o', '--output', action='store', default=sys.stdout) return p if __name__ == "__main__": argument_parser = get_argument_parser() args = argument_parser.parse_args() main(args)
To use the output for logging or to edit it use the printargs.formatted function, which returns the string instead of printing it:
import sys import argparse import printargs def main(args): t = printargs.formatted(args) with open('log', 'a') as logfile: logfile.write("Test program called with parameters:") logfile.write(t) logfile.write("\n\n") def get_argument_parser(): p = argparse.ArgumentParser() p.add_argument('-f', '--foo', action='store') p.add_argument('-b', '--bar', action='store', type=int) p.add_argument('-o', '--output', action='store', default=sys.stdout) return p if __name__ == "__main__": argument_parser = get_argument_parser() args = argument_parser.parse_args() main(args)
