I’ve been using argparse for a Python program that can -process, -upload or both:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=’Log archiver arguments.’)
parser.add_argument(‘-process’, action=’store_true’)
parser.add_argument(‘-upload’, action=’store_true’)
args = parser.parse_args()
The program is meaningless without at least one parameter. Ho….
I’m trying to write a script that accepts multiple input sources and does something to each one. Something like this
./my_script.py \
-i input1_url input1_name input1_other_var \
-i input2_url input2_name input2_other_var \
-i input3_url input3_name
# notice inputX_other_var is optional
But I can’t quite figure out how to do this usin….
Is it possible to add an Argument to an python argparse.ArgumentParser without it showing up in the usage or help (script.py –help)?
….
parser.add_argument(‘-auto’, action=’store_true’)
How can I store false if -auto is unspecified? I can faintly remember that this way, it stores None if unspecified

I have a requirement as follows:
./xyifier –prox –lport lport –rport rport
for the argument prox , I use action=’store_true’ to check if it is present or not.
I do not require any of the arguments. But, if –prox is set I require rport and lport as well. Is there an easy way of doing this with argparse without writing custom conditional codin….
I would like to check whether an optional argparse argument has been set by the user or not.
Can I safely check using isset?
Something like this:
if(isset(args.myArg)):
#do something
else:
#do something else
Does this work the same for float / int / string type arguments?
I could set a default parameter and check it (e.g., set myArg = -1,….
When I use subcommands with python argparse, I can get the selected arguments.
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument(‘-g’, ‘–global’)
subparsers = parser.add_subparsers()
foo_parser = subparsers.add_parser(‘foo’)
foo_parser.add_argument(‘-c’, ‘–count’)
bar_parser = subparsers.add_parser(‘bar’)
args = parser.parse_args([‘-g’, ….

I think this must be easy but I do not get it.

The title pretty much summarizes what I’d like to have happen.
Here is what I have, and while the program doesn’t blow up on a nonpositive integer, I want the user to be informed that a nonpositive integer is basically nonsense.
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument(“-g”, “–games”, type=int, default=162,
