"""This module provides argparse integration with absl.flags. | |
``argparse_flags.ArgumentParser`` is a drop-in replacement for | |
:class:`argparse.ArgumentParser`. It takes care of collecting and defining absl | |
flags in :mod:`argparse`. | |
Here is a simple example:: | |
# Assume the following absl.flags is defined in another module: | |
# | |
# from absl import flags | |
# flags.DEFINE_string('echo', None, 'The echo message.') | |
# | |
parser = argparse_flags.ArgumentParser( | |
description='A demo of absl.flags and argparse integration.') | |
parser.add_argument('--header', help='Header message to print.') | |
# The parser will also accept the absl flag `--echo`. | |
# The `header` value is available as `args.header` just like a regular | |
# argparse flag. The absl flag `--echo` continues to be available via | |
# `absl.flags.FLAGS` if you want to access it. | |
args = parser.parse_args() | |
# Example usages: | |
# ./program --echo='A message.' --header='A header' | |
# ./program --header 'A header' --echo 'A message.' | |
Here is another example demonstrates subparsers:: | |
parser = argparse_flags.ArgumentParser(description='A subcommands demo.') | |
parser.add_argument('--header', help='The header message to print.') | |
subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(help='The command to execute.') | |
roll_dice_parser = subparsers.add_parser( | |
'roll_dice', help='Roll a dice.', | |
# By default, absl flags can also be specified after the sub-command. | |
# To only allow them before sub-command, pass | |
# `inherited_absl_flags=None`. | |
inherited_absl_flags=None) | |
roll_dice_parser.add_argument('--num_faces', type=int, default=6) | |
roll_dice_parser.set_defaults(command=roll_dice) | |
shuffle_parser = subparsers.add_parser('shuffle', help='Shuffle inputs.') | |
shuffle_parser.add_argument( | |
'inputs', metavar='I', nargs='+', help='Inputs to shuffle.') | |
shuffle_parser.set_defaults(command=shuffle) | |
args = parser.parse_args(argv[1:]) | |
args.command(args) | |
# Example usages: | |
# ./program --echo='A message.' roll_dice --num_faces=6 | |
# ./program shuffle --echo='A message.' 1 2 3 4 | |
There are several differences between :mod:`absl.flags` and | |
:mod:`~absl.flags.argparse_flags`: | |
1. Flags defined with absl.flags are parsed differently when using the | |
argparse parser. Notably: | |
1) absl.flags allows both single-dash and double-dash for any flag, and | |
doesn't distinguish them; argparse_flags only allows double-dash for | |
flag's regular name, and single-dash for flag's ``short_name``. | |
2) Boolean flags in absl.flags can be specified with ``--bool``, | |
``--nobool``, as well as ``--bool=true/false`` (though not recommended); | |
in argparse_flags, it only allows ``--bool``, ``--nobool``. | |
2. Help related flag differences: | |
1) absl.flags does not define help flags, absl.app does that; argparse_flags | |
defines help flags unless passed with ``add_help=False``. | |
2) absl.app supports ``--helpxml``; argparse_flags does not. | |
3) argparse_flags supports ``-h``; absl.app does not. | |
