argparse

This question already has an answer here: Get selected subcommand with argparse 2 answers I think this must be easy but I do not get it. Assume I have the following arparse parser: import argparse parser = argparse.ArgumentParser( version='pyargparsetest 1.0' ) subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(help='commands') # all all_parser = subparsers.add_parser('all', help='process all apps') # app app_parser = subparsers.add_parser('app', help='process a single app') app_parser.add_argument('appname', action='store', help='name of app to process') How can I identify, which subparser was used? calling:

Suppose I have the following argparse snippet: diags.cmdln_parser.add_argument( '--scan-time', action = 'store', nargs = '?', type = int, default = 5, help = "Wait SCAN-TIME seconds between status checks.") Currently, --help returns: usage: connection_check.py [-h] [--version] [--scan-time [SCAN_TIME]] Test the reliability/uptime of a connection. optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --version show program's version number and exit --scan-time [SCAN_TIME] Wait SCAN-TIME seconds between status checks. I would prefer something like: --scan-time [SCAN_TIME] Wait SCAN-TIME

I'm trying to get a data parsing script up and running. It works as far as the data manipulation is concerned. What I'm trying to do is set this up so I can enter multiple user defined CSV's with a single command. e.g. > python script.py One.csv Two.csv Three.csv If you have any advice on how to automate the naming of the output CSV so that if input = test.csv , output = test1.csv , I'd appreciate that as well. Getting TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, list found for the line for line in csv.reader(open(args.infile)): My code: import csv import pprint pp = pprint

I'm new to python and currently playing with it. I have a script which does some API Calls to an appliance. I would like to extend the functionality and call different functions based on the arguments given when calling the script. Currently I have the following: parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument("--showtop20", help="list top 20 by app", action="store_true") parser.add_argument("--listapps", help="list all available apps", action="store_true") args = parser.parse_args() I also have a def showtop20(): ..... and def listapps(): .... How can I call the function (and only this

This question already has an answer here: type=dict in argparse.add_argument() 7 answers I'm trying to accept an argument of type=dict with argparse but no matter the input it gives an error of invalid dict value. #!/usr/bin/env python import argparse MYDICT = {'key': 'value'} parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument("-m", "--mydict", action="store", required=False, type=dict, default=MYDICT) args = parser.parse_args() print args.mydict This is what happens when I try and pass a dictionary to the script ./argp.py -m "{'key1': 'value1'}" usage: argp.py [-h] [-m MYDICT] argp.py:

I have this code which I am generally pleased with: import argparse servers = [ "ApaServer", "BananServer", "GulServer", "SolServer", "RymdServer", "SkeppServer", "HavsServer", "PiratServer", "SvartServer", "NattServer", "SovServer" ] parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="A program to update components on servers.") group = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group() group.add_argument('-l', '--list', dest="update", action='store_false', default=False, help='list server components') group.add_argument('-u', '--updatepom', dest="update", action='store_true', help='update server components')
