argpext 1.3.0

Argpext provides hierarchical, or multilevel, subcommand implementation that allows one to quickly expose any required callable objects, such as functions, generators, to a DOS/Linux command line.

Hierarchical sub-commands implementation: Class “Task” is used to define the interface between a specific callable object and the command line. When python module contains more than one “task”, class “Node” may be used in order to populate all the required “tasks” onto a tree structure. Any such task may then individually be executed from a UNIX/DOS command line prompt, by passing a script name followed a sequence of command line arguments, followed by the command line arguments used to specify the arguments of the task, if required. Using the “–help” results in a help message. Passing the sequence of arguments complete with the task arguments results in the actual execution of the task.

Acknowledgements: Hierarchical subcommands feature internally relies on the argparse module.

Release v1.3.0 - substantial new features. This version is only compatible with Python 3 only. Support for Python 2 is currently planned, for versions 1.3.XXX.
