arg_fu

Python command line argument parser, super clean, super easy, and chicks dig it.

How to use:

• Add a switch, a function to call, and an optional help message.

arg_fu.add_action(switch, func, help_mesg)

• Process commandline

arg_fu.process()

• Example

import arg_fu

arg_fu.add_action('-p',print)
arg_fu.add_action('--print',print,"print stuff")

arg_fu.process()

• ex. myscript.py -p hello calls print("hello")

• -h and --help display switches and their help messages

# python arg_test.py  -h

-p   Show This
-h   print stuff
--print   print stuff
--help   Show This

• Set the order in which the switches are processed with the optional ordered list of switches

arg_fu.process(ordered=['--print','-p'])

• working example with ordered switches

import arg_fu


arg_fu.add_action('--p',print,"print stuff")
arg_fu.add_action('--print',print,"print stuff")

print ("now with ordered \n")

arg_fu.process(ordered=['--print','-p'])
