# Author: Steven J. Bethard <steven.bethard@gmail.com>.
"""Command-line parsing library
This module is an optparse-inspired command-line parsing library that:
- handles both optional and positional arguments
- produces highly informative usage messages
- supports parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
The following is a simple usage example that sums integers from the
command-line and writes the result to a file::
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
description='sum the integers at the command line')
parser.add_argument(
'integers', metavar='int', nargs='+', type=int,
help='an integer to be summed')
parser.add_argument(
'--log', default=sys.stdout, type=argparse.FileType('w'),
help='the file where the sum should be written')
args = parser.parse_args()
args.log.write('%s' % sum(args.integers))
args.log.close()
The module contains the following public classes:
- ArgumentParser -- The main entry point for command-line parsing. As the
example above shows, the add_argument() method is used to populate
the parser with actions for optional and positional arguments. Then
the parse_args() method is invoked to convert the args at the
command-line into an object with attributes.
- ArgumentError -- The exception raised by ArgumentParser objects when
there are errors with the parser's actions. Errors raised while
parsing the command-line are caught by ArgumentParser and emitted
as command-line messages.
- FileType -- A factory for defining types of files to be created. As the
example above shows, instances of FileType are typically passed as
the type= argument of add_argument() calls.
- Action -- The base class for parser actions. Typically actions are
selected by passing strings like 'store_true' or 'append_const' to
the action= argument of add_argument(). However, for greater
customization of ArgumentParser actions, subclasses of Action may
be defined and passed as the action= argument.
- HelpFormatter, RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, RawTextHelpFormatter,
ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter -- Formatter classes which
may be passed as the formatter_class= argument to the
ArgumentParser constructor. HelpFormatter is the default,
RawDescriptionHelpFormatter and RawTextHelpFormatter tell the parser
not to change the formatting for help text, and
ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter adds information about argument defaults
to the help.
All other classes in this module are considered implementation details.
(Also note that HelpFormatter and RawDescriptionHelpFormatter are only
considered public as object names -- the API of the formatter objects is
still considered an implementation detail.)

"""Information about how to convert command line strings to Python objects.
Action objects are used by an ArgumentParser to represent the information
needed to parse a single argument from one or more strings from the
command line. The keyword arguments to the Action constructor are also
all attributes of Action instances.
Keyword Arguments:
- option_strings -- A list of command-line option strings which
should be associated with this action.
- dest -- The name of the attribute to hold the created object(s)
- nargs -- The number of command-line arguments that should be
consumed. By default, one argument will be consumed and a single
value will be produced. Other values include:
- N (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
- '?' consumes zero or one arguments
- '*' consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
- '+' consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
Note that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that
with the default, a single value will be produced, while with
nargs=1, a list containing a single value will be produced.
- const -- The value to be produced if the option is specified and the
option uses an action that takes no values.
- default -- The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
- type -- A callable that accepts a single string argument, and
returns the converted value. The standard Python types str, int,
float, and complex are useful examples of such callables. If None,
str is used.
- choices -- A container of values that should be allowed. If not None,
after a command-line argument has been converted to the appropriate
type, an exception will be raised if it is not a member of this
collection.
- required -- True if the action must always be specified at the
command line. This is only meaningful for optional command-line
arguments.
- help -- The help string describing the argument.
- metavar -- The name to be used for the option's argument with the
help string. If None, the 'dest' value will be used as the name.
