Simple-python-argparse-examples

A few very simple examples of using argparse for:

• flag parameters
• lists of things
• calling an app with all paramaters

The files are:

args01final.py

very basic - a single positional argument

args02final_multi.py

a multi-valued argument - passes a list to the app. Use with wildcards on linux to return (potentially huge) lists of files

args03flags.py

adds in flag type arguments which result in True or False (and can work either way round

args04types.py

getting arguments parsed (e.g. as int or float)

args05owntypes.py

using your own functions to validate and process a parameter

args06app_call.py

a simple trick to pass all aruments as keywords to the function

args07app.py

A very simple calculator with it's own unique syntax!
