[Documentation Status] argparse2 is a fork of the Python standard library’s [argparse][argparse] module. The [project page][argparse2_github] and source code are on GitHub. `argparse2` is distributed for free on [PyPI][argparse2_pypi]. Project documentation is hosted on [Read the Docs][argparse2_docs]. The purposes of the fork include--. We aim to preserve backwards compatibility for the most part. We anticipate breaking backwards compatibility only in the case of warts and "documented bugs.". The main work being done so far is simplifying the code base. Up to this point, all of the test cases in the original CPython implementation continue to pass.

QUESTION
I'm trying to create well formatted help messages for 'choice' type command line arguments with Python's argparse. For the command I allow the name '--operation' and the alias '-o'. Currently, argparse is printing the list of options next to both in the help message.
Please note that this question is different to the question of formatting the help messages of the options (That problem has a good answer here by Anthon: Python argparse: How to insert newline in the help text?)
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Oct-15 at 14:47This is quite a hack, but there doesn't appear to be a good place to hook into this.
Define your own formatter, which overrides (by basically copying) the _format_action_invocation
method. The only change you'll make is to add the choices only to the last option string.
QUESTION
I want to use several options together, or not at all, as the title says, but my methods seem relatively ugly, and I was wondering if there was a cleaner way to implement this. I have, in addition, looked at this, about how it might be done in argparse
, but I would like to implement it in click
if possible (I am trying to avoid using nargs=[...]
).
So far, this is what I have:
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Apr-27 at 15:09You can enforce using all options in a group by building a custom class derived from click.Option
, and in that class over riding the click.Option.handle_parse_result()
method like:
QUESTION
For parsing boolean command-line options using Python's built-in argparse
package, I am aware of this question and its several answers: Parsing boolean values with argparse.
Several of the answers (correctly, IMO) point out that the most common and straightforward idiom for boolean options (from the caller's point of view) is to accept both --foo
and --no-foo
options, which sets some value in the program to True
or False
, respectively.
However, all the answers I can find don't actually accomplish the task correctly, it seems to me. They seem to generally fall short on one of the following:
- A suitable default can be set (
True
,False
, orNone
). - Help text given for
program.py --help
is correct and helpful, including showing what the default is. - Either of (I don't really care which, but both are sometimes desirable):
- An argument
--foo
can be overridden by a later argument--no-foo
and vice versa; --foo
and--no-foo
are incompatible and mutually exclusive.
- An argument
What I'm wondering is whether this is even possible at all using argparse
.
Here's the closest I've come, based on answers by @mgilson and @fnkr:

Answered 2018-Dec-27 at 01:03One of the answers in your linked question, specifically the one by Robert T. McGibbon, includes a code snippet from an enhancement request that was never accepted into the standard argparse. It works fairly well, though, if you discount one annoyance. Here is my reproduction, with a few small modifications, as a stand-alone module with a little bit of pydoc string added, and an example of its usage:

QUESTION
I would like to write a python "template" module in order to give all my scripts the same behavior.
The behavior is the following:
- if the script runs in command line, it accepts arguments treated with argparse. These arguments are basically:
- take in input a
json
from stdin, from file, or from a string argument; - give in output a
json
in stdout or in a file.
- take in input a
- if the script is imported as a module, it has classes/functions managing the following situations:
- take in input an object from who called it;
- give in output an object so that who called it can use it.
It behaves from command line exactly as I want thanks to these suggestions: Python argparse mutually exclusive with stdin being one of the options

Install python-argparse
You can use python-argparse like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
