argparse after __name__ == "__main__"

[raffienficiaud]

Dear autoprogram team,

If I have a code like this:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    logger.setLevel("DEBUG")

    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description="""random"""
    )

then the autoprogram is unable to see the parser object for that specific file. Moving parser up before the if works, but require all the add_argument to be above the if __name__ == "__main__".

I usually declare the parser only if this is executed as a script or with the -m option of python, and tend to avoid global objects otherwise.

Is there a way to make it work like this?

Thank you,

I have the same problem.

@raffienficiaud did you get any further ideas how to solve this?

@LongnoseRob sorry no, could not find a way to work around it. It should not be too difficult though, the code for getting the parser object seems to be this one but one needs to dig in.
