Argslib is a minimalist Python library for parsing command line arguments.

Features

• Long-form boolean flags with single-character shortcuts: --flag, -f.
• Long-form string, integer, and floating-point options with single-character shortcuts: --option <arg>, -o <arg>.
• Condensed short-form options: -abc <arg> <arg>.
• Automatic --help and --version flags.
• Support for multivalued options.
• Support for git-style command interfaces with arbitrarily-nested commands.

Installation

Install from the Python package index using pip:

$ pip install argslib

Alternatively, you can incorporate the single, public-domain argslib.py file directly into your application. Argslib has no external dependencies.

Argslib requires Python 3.8 or later.
