Powerful and Flexible Argument Handler

argon is a powerful and super flexible CLI argument parser. It can handle almost any type of interface schemes. Some of its characteristics:

• it can handle:
  • boolean flags,
  • flags with optional or mandatory single values,
  • flags with optional or mandatory value arrays (values both repeated or unique),
  • flags with optional or manadatory named values (key-value pairs)
  • flags and values not separated by space
  • flags and values separated by user defined delimiter
  • flags grouping
  • double-dash like end-of-parameters flag
• it can handle optional or mandatory nested flags (contexts)
• it can handle program name aliases (build different behaviour inside the same program with different program names)
• it has an easy to use, very dynamic and lazy declarative style
• it has a unified parsed return value, but also provides several traverse functions for easier argument + value + members checking
• it has a tiny, but powerful text-templating system to build reusable help texts
• it has very informative errors, and optionally it can handle those errors as well
• almost everything is customizable about it

• dagger
• orderedset

NOTE: If you have bash and git installed on your system, you can run install.sh and it will download the dependencies for you, and install argon as well.

On Linux and Macintosh:

$ git clone https://github.com/petervaro/argon.git
$ cd argon
$ bash install.sh

Work-In-Progress (check ./doc/Exxx.py files for examples)
