snaparg – Smarter argparse for easy living
snaparg is a lightweight Python library that wraps around the built-in argparse module, making command-line interfaces more user-friendly by detecting typos in argument names and suggesting the closest valid alternatives.
Perfect for scripts and tools that aim to be a little more forgiving to users without sacrificing the power and flexibility of argparse.
You can even replace it in any script just by editing your import statement!
✨ Features
- Drop-in replacement for
argparse.ArgumentParser - Detects mistyped CLI flags and suggests corrections
- Compatible with existing
argparse-based code - Zero dependencies — works out of the box
📦 Quick Start
-
then replace:
-
from argparse import ArgumentParser->from snaparg import SnapArgumentParser as ArgumentParser

Full message:
