What this article brings to you is about the basic use (examples) of the argparse library in Python. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Basic use

import argparse

# 创建解析器
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description = 'This is a test')
parser.parse_args()

Can be tested in the shell:

$ python test.py --help
...

Add parameters

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description = 'This is a test')
parser.add_argument("-p","--port",help='increase output port') # 定义了可选参数-p和--port,赋值后,其值保存在args.port中(其值都是保存在最后一个定义的参数中)
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args.echo)

When used:

$ python test.py -p 50
或
$ python test.py --port 50

Specify type

We can also specify the type when adding parameters.

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description = 'This is a test')
parser.add_argument("square",help="display a given number",type=int) # 指定给square的参数为int类型

Optional parameters

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("-v", help="increase output verbosity")
args = parser.parse_args()
if args.v:
    print("v turned on")

Use:

$ python test.py -v any
