* Package name : python-argh Version : 0.15.1 Upstream Author : Andrey Mikhaylenko <a...@neithere.net> * URL : http://packages.python.org/argh/ * License : LGPL-3.0+ Programming Lang: Python Description : A simple argparse wrapper Argh provides a very simple wrapper for argparse. Argparse is a very powerful tool; argh just makes it easy to use. Here’s a list of features that argh adds to argparse: * mark a function as a CLI command and specify its arguments before the parser is instantiated; * nested commands made easy: no messing with subparsers (though they are of course used under the hood); * infer command name from function name; * infer agrument type from the default value; * infer argument action from the default value (for booleans); * infer arguments from function signature; * add an alias root command help for the --help argument; * enable passing unwrapped arguments to certain functions instead of a argparse.Namespace object. Argh is fully compatible with argparse. You can mix argh-agnostic and argh-aware code. Just keep in mind that dispatch() does some extra work that a custom dispatcher may not do. ---- Note: I'm packaging this as a requirement for barman (http://www.pgbarman.org) package.
