args.py

A small in-place argument-parser. Call it in your python file to easily provide a commandline-interface to your functions.

Features:

• easy usage: import args; args.args()
• cmd-interface to all functions of that module
  • no class support (for now)
• automatic usage-generation (test.py -h)
• parsing of arguments into the respective type (if annotated)
• --list-commands to retrieve a machine-readable list of all possible commands
• ignoring functions, starting with _
• allowing arguments to be passed via stdin
• works even with pdb

Check out test.py for examples and usage of this module.

Known Issues:

• pdb finishes with ValueError: I/O operation on closed file. when calling -h or --list-commands.
• import not working as intended in all situations (probably name clashes)
• no setup.py
