* Package name : python-configargparse Version : 0.9.3 Upstream Author : Zorro * URL : https://github.com/zorro3/ConfigArgParse * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : replacement for argparse allowing options to also be set via config files and/or environment variables Applications with more than a handful of user-settable options are best configured through a combination of command line args, config files, hard-coded defaults, and in some cases, environment variables. . Python’s command line parsing modules like argparse have very limited support for config files and environment variables, so this module extends argparse to add these features. . Features: . - command-line, config file, env var, and default settings can now be defined, documented, and parsed in one go using a single API (the order of precedence is: command line args > environment variables > config file values > defaults) - config files can have .ini or .yaml style syntax (eg. key=value or key: value) - user can specify a config file path using regular command line syntax (eg. -c config.txt) rather than the argparse-style @config.txt - all argparse functionality is fully supported, so this module can serve as a drop-in replacement for argparse - env vars and config file keys & syntax are automatically documented in the help message - print_values() can be used to log values and their sources (eg. command line, env var, config file, or default) for improved reproducibility - lite-weight (simple API, no dependencies on 3rd-party libraries), - extensible (the following methods can be over-ridden to change config file and environment variable parsing: parse_config_file, get_possible_config_keys, convert_setting_to_command_line_arg) - unittested using the tests that came with argparse, and using tox to test python versions >= 2.7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
