Python command-line parsing library

Downloads ↓

Latest Version: 1.2.1

The argparse module provides an easy, declarative interface for creating command line tools, which knows how to:

• parse the arguments and flags from sys.argv
• convert arg strings into objects for your program
• format and print informative help messages
• and much more...

The argparse module improves on the standard library optparse module in a number of ways including:

• handling positional arguments
• supporting sub-commands
• allowing alternative option prefixes like + and /
• handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments
• producing more informative usage messages
• providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions
