Need to parse commandline flags or text commands?
Want to decide how to handle each flag or need to handle multiple args at once?
Well look no further!
Inspired by go's flag, an easy to use commandline parser
Usage:
from pyflags import Flags
f = Flags()
f.simple("-n", func = lambda args : int(args[0])) # convert the arg after the flag to int
f.flag("-datetime", argcount = 2, func = lambda args : dateutil.parser.parse("%s %s" %(args[0],args[1])) # returns the 2 consecutive args parsed as datetime
f.boolean("-bool") # returns true if in the given args, false if absent
f.flag("--collect", argcount = 2) # returns the 2 consecutive args as a list
vals = f.parse_all(args) #returns a dict of all the parse args, None if absent for non-boolean flags
#or parse sys.argv via f.parse_sysargs()
originals = f.original_args
leftovers = f.leftover_args
#use the stuffTODO:
- build parser for positionals
- assign the values to variables declared beforehand (goflag's default behaviour)
