ArgEasy

Argeasy is a simple and intuitive command line argument parser for any user, making it easy to build CLI applications. With it, you can:

• Set arguments;
• Set flags;
• Set application name, description and version;
• Define the action to be taken when an argument or flag is called.

In addition to having well-structured user help messages with all the necessary information. To install this library, use pip:

pip install argeasy

Example of use

Here is a simple usage example:

import argeasy

parser = argeasy.ArgEasy()

parser.add_argument('foo', 'print foo', action='store_true')
parser.add_flag('--bar', 'print a text')

args = parser.parse()

if args.foo:
    print('foo')

In this code, we add an argument called foo and set the action (in the action argument) to be taken as store_true, that is, when this argument is called, its value will be True. Otherwise, the value will be None. Flags named with separate words like --add-email will be changed and can be obtained with args.add_email.

You can also define information about your application, such as version, description and project name. Do this in the instance of the ArgEasy class:

argeasy.ArgEasy(
    name='My App',
    description='Description of my App',
    version='1.0.0'
)

Actions

Action is the action that argeasy should take when it perceives an argument. See available actions:

• default: get the next argument as a value;
• store_true: if the argument is detected, its value will be True;
• store_false: if the argument is detected, its value will be False;
• append: if the argument is detected, it will get all other arguments present in front of it.
