9 Description: The argparse module makes it easy to write user friendly command line
12 The program defines what arguments it requires, and argparse will figure out
13 how to parse those out of sys.argv. The argparse module also automatically
14 generates help and usage messages and issues errors when users give the
15 program invalid arguments.
17 As of Python >= 2.7 and >= 3.2, the argparse module is maintained within the
18 Python standard library. For users who still need to support Python < 2.7 or
19 < 3.2, it is also provided as a separate package, which tries to stay
20 compatible with the module in the standard library, but also supports older
23 Also, we can fix bugs here for users who are stuck on some non-current python
24 version, like e.g. 3.2.3 (which has bugs that were fixed in a later 3.2.x
27 argparse is licensed under the Python license, for details see LICENSE.txt.
33 argparse should work on Python >= 2.3, it was tested on:
35 * 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7
44 python setup.py install
50 putting argparse.py in some directory listed in sys.path should also work
56 If you find a bug in argparse (pypi), please try to reproduce it with latest
57 python 2.7 and 3.4 (and use argparse from stdlib).
59 If it happens there also, please file a bug in the python.org issue tracker.
60 If it does not happen there, file a bug in the argparse package issue tracker.
