argunparse 0.1.4

How to use
Simple example of how argunparse works:
import argunparse

options = {
'v': True,
'long-flag': True,
'ignored': False,
'also-ignored': None,
'o': 'out_file.txt',
'log': 'log_file.txt'
}
args = {
'in_file.txt'
}

unparser = argunparse.ArgumentUnparser()
print(unparser.unparse(*args, **options))
# -v --long-flag -o=out_file.txt --log=log_file.txt in_file.txt

print(unparser.unparse_to_list(*args, **options))
# ['-v', '--long-flag', '-o=out_file.txt', '--log=log_file.txt', 'in_file.txt']
Special option values are:

True – option will be treated as a flag;
False and None – option will be ignored.

All other values will be converted to strings using str().
