Using Boolean Flags in Python Click Library (command line arguments)

Question

I\'m trying to make a verbose flag for my Python program. Currently, I\'m doing this:

import click

#global variable
verboseFlag = False

#parse arguments
@click         


        

Answer 1

The above answer was helpful, but this is what I ended up using. I thought I'd share since so many people are looking at this question:

@click.command()
@click.option('--verbose', '-v', is_flag=True, help="Print more output.")
def main(verbose):
    if verbose:
        # do something

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # pylint: disable=no-value-for-parameter
    main()
