ArghEx: Extensions for Argh, the "Natural CLI"

This module contains some extensions to the Python CLI package argh. Currently the only extension provided is a command-line parser which collects unknown arguments in a list.

Installation

Just use arghex.py in your Python project.

Parser With Unknown Arguments

ArghParserWithUnknownArgs is a class derived from ArghParser and it collects unknown arguments in a list for further processing.

When you instantiate ArghParserWithUnknownArgs you give it the name of the variable holding the list of unknown arguments. See the following code snippet:

def main(my_arg=42, other_args=[]):
    # use my_arg here
    # and pass other_args through

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = arghex.ArghParserWithUnknownArgs('other_args')
