This is a simple package which inspects callables and constructs an argparse. Most permissive thing ever. Use it anyway you want for any purpose you want.
This module encapsulates functions and classes to parse args and kwargs of
callable object and construct argparse argument parser. The callable
arguments are then inferred from the command line arguments via sys.argv.
In general *args are added as required and **kwargs are added with their
corresponding defaults. argument types are inferred from kwargs default
values. The module relies heavily on argparse and inspect modules.
- wArgsCall: Eager argument parsing for any callable (e.g. function, class instantiation, lambda's)
- wArgs: Lazy argument parsing of callabels which returns a callable object to call later. Does not support class inheritance.
- wArgsClass: Lazy argument parsing of classes which returns a class_wArgs to instantiate objects from it later. Supports inherit
ance - wArgsInit: Allows entry point to globals into the wArgs.core module. Essential for python eval'd arguments (e.g. None and obje
ct) - wArgsCheck: Checks for -h/--help and unrecognised arguments.
- wArgsHelp: Produces help of all objects using wArgs.
- wildArgs: Lite weight and EAGER wArgs encapsulator allows on the spot CLI arg for a selected local variables.
24/04/20 - Clean wArgsCheck and use Levenshtein Distance and argmax for prefixed arg matching 22/04/20 - Add chooices support (e.g. set?) 22/04/20 - Add CLI dictionary support (e.g. --dictarg k1:v1 k2:v2 ...) 22/04/20 - Add Ellipsis support (e.g. f(x=...) -> ???) 22/04/20 - Allow importing modules for python eval'd args (e.g. --import math, --import_from math pi log sin)
04/01/20 - Fix mutability of unknown_args 10/01/20 - Add custom help formatter
24/06/20 - Fixed a bug with prefixed args reportede as unknown args (Needs more work. Chk TODOs)
22/04/20 - Fixed EvalArgParseAction cannot access membeers of loaded modules (e.g. nn.MSE)
21/04/20 - Fixed boolean args defalted to True. Now defaults to False and a no prefix is added to arg name (e.g. Flag -> --noFl
ag)
21/04/20 - Add docstring support
20/04/20 - Supports inheritance
20/04/20 - fixed inheritance order (reversed(callableobj.mro()))
20/04/20 - fixed force_pos_args in wArgsClass
