docopt

I've been trying to use docopt to make a simple CLI, but for some reason my default parameters are not appearing. Below is my test code. I am using the latest version of docopt.py from the github repository. """ Usage: scrappy <path> ... [options] -a --auto Automatically scrape and rename without user interaction. -l --lang Specify language code [default: en]. --scan-individual Evaluate series information individually for each file. -c --cfg User alternate config file [default: ../scrappy.conf] -t --test Test run. Do not modify files. -v --verbose Print verbose output """ from docopt import

I'm using the docopt implementation for R. My script has a command line option where the short form is -g . When I run my script, it seems this argument is first interpreted by R and then by my script. Therefore I get a wrist slap about not specifying a value for the GUI. Can I prevent R from trying to work with these command line args? Example of a script: #!/usr/bin/Rscript suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(docopt)) "docopt practice script Usage: foo.R [-g <goodies>] Options: -g <goodies>, --goodies=<goodies> Goodies " -> doc opts <- docopt(doc) cat(sprintf("goodies = %s\n", opts

I have to write a command-line interface and I've seen I can use docopt and argparse . I would like to know what are the main differences between the two so that I can make an enlightened choice. Please stick to the facts. I don't want Wow. docopt. So beautiful. Very useful. reindeer Docopt parses a doc string, whereas argparse constructs its parsing by creating an object instance and adding behaviour to it by function calls. Example for argparse: parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument("operation", help="mathematical operation that will be performed", choices=['add', 'subtract'

I'm using docopt in an example for a module I'm working on, and all the option default values are working except one. I've modified all the code containing and surrounding the option trying to identify the problem, but it won't take a default value! My options block looks like this: Options: --help Show this message and exit --version Show version info and exit -w WIDTH --width=WIDTH The out to out width of the deck (feet) [default: 73] -g GIRDERS --girders=GIRDERS The number of girders [default: 8] -h HEIGHT --height=HEIGHT The height of the girders (inches) [default: 56] -t THICK --thick

I have multiple Python scripts which use docopt. My issue is that the available options for the two scripts differ slightly - one option is present in one script, but not the other. I've included a minimum working example below. If I run: python main.py --num=7 --name=John the script does not run, as --name=John is also passed to module1.py, where it is not a valid option. With my actual script, I have several imports after docopt parses the arguments, and so I cannot simply move the docopt call to the bottom of the script ( if __name__ == '__main__': ). If I do this, the imports in the
