from jcvi.apps.base import OptionParser # create an OptionParser object parser = OptionParser() # add a positional argument parser.add_option("filename") # add a boolean option (flag) parser.add_option("-v", "--verbose", action="store_true", help="verbose output") # add an integer option parser.add_option("-n", dest="count", type=int, help="number of items") # parse command-line arguments options, args = parser.parse_args() # access parsed options and arguments filename = args[0] verbose_output = options.verbose count = options.countIn this example, we define an `OptionParser` object and add three different types of options: a positional argument (`filename`), a boolean option (`-v` or `--verbose`), and an integer option (`-n`). We can then parse the command-line arguments using the `parse_args` method and access the parsed options and arguments. The `jcvi.apps.base` package is part of the JCVI (J. Craig Venter Institute) bioinformatics software suite.
