On the other hand, if you feel that argparse is akin to using a canon to kill a mosquito, you can try scription*: - not argparse based - simple to use - supports flags, options, multioptions - supports --help (and -h if no other parameter uses that abbreviation) - supports --verbose (and -v of no other . . .) - supports --version - script parameters are global - (sub)command parameters are local -- ~Ethan~ * https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scription P.S. Yes, my package. ;) Created both for the learning, and because I feel like argparse is overpowered, complicated, and un-fun for scripts.
