cmdoptparser¶

Module provides class CmdOptParser inherited from argparse.ArgumentParser. Unit tests available at hydratk/lib/console/cmdoptparser/01_methods_ut.jedi

Attributes :

• _silent
• _set_opts
• _unreg_opts
• _opt_group - default option group
• _options - dictionary of options which belong to option group

Methods :

• error

Method raises CmdOptParserError

• set_default_opt_group

Method sets _opt_group if configured in options. Otherwise it raises CmdOptParserUndefined.

• add_opt_group

Method sets new option group (new key in _options).

from hydratk.lib.console.cmdoptparser import CmdOptParser

op = CmdOptParser()
group = 'test'
op.add_opt_group(group)

• _add_opt

Methods sets new option for given group (automatically created if not set). If option already exists CmdOptParserError is raised. Method can set single option or list. Option supports several configuration parameters.

d_option is target option (multiple option aliases can point to same target, can be used for short and long options). has_value is used for options with expected value (False by default used for switches). allow_multiple is used for options that can have multiple values (False by default for options with single value).

When you want to set list options you must specify the configuration [{‘option’:option, ‘dest’:d_option, ‘action’:action}]. action can be store_true (switches), store (single value), append (multiple values).

# single option without value
group, opt = 'test', '-x'
res = op._add_opt(opt, opt_group=group)

# single option with value
d_opt, has_value, allow_multiple = 'x', True, False
res = op._add_opt(opt, d_opt, has_value, allow_multiple, group)

# option with multiples value
allow_multiple = True
res = op._add_opt(opt, d_opt, has_value, allow_multiple, group)

# multiple options
opt = []
opt[0] = {'option': options[0], 'dest': 'x', 'action': 'store'}
opt[1] = {'option': options[1], 'dest': 'y', 'action': 'store'}
res = op._add_opt(opt, opt_group=group)

• add_opt

Method is simplified interface for method _add_opt.
