Hog wash! Both are archaic and asinine. Both clog your scripts with
wasted lines and your memory with complex interfaces far worse than
colon clogging junk food can hold a candle to. Give your *script* an
enema, and do *yourself* a favor by harnessing the simplistic elegance
of the "optphart" module instead!
#-- Start Script --#
def optphart(args):
d = {'args':[]}
for arg in args:
if arg.startswith('-'):
key, value = arg.split('=', 1)
options = value.split(',')
if len(options) > 1:
d[key[1:]] = options
else:
d[key[1:]] = [value]
else:
d['args'].append(arg)
return d
if __name__ == '__main__':
args = [
'nakedArgumentOne',
'nakedArgumentTwo',
'-file=aSingleFile.txt',
'-files=aFileOne.txt,aFileTwo.txt',
'-options=Op1,Op2,Op3,Op4',
'-help=this_is_some_unhelpful_help',
]
opts = optphart(args)
#print opts.keys()
for k,v in opts.items():
print '%s -> %s' %(k, v)
