Argpext: hierarchical extension of sub-commands in argparse.

Project description

Argpext is a Python package that provides a collection of tools centred on research infrastructure development.

Argpext provides hierarchical (multilevel) subcommand implementation that allows one to quickly expose any required callable objects, such as functions, generators, or any other Python’s callable objects to the 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. Class “Node” may be used in order to populate all the required “tasks” onto a tree structure, whose design follows the intended execution patterns. Any such task may then individually be executed by passing a specific sequence of command line arguments to the top level script, followed by the command line arguments used to specify the arguments, if required by the task. When followed by the “–help” flag, such sequence simply outputs the help message that provides short description of the task and directions for populating task arguments. Passing the sequence of command complete with task arguments results in the actual execution of the task. Hierarchical subcommands feature internally relies on the standard Pythons standard module.
