Installation
Usage

Installation
python -m pip install --upgrade jarguments

Usage
There are three steps to using the jarguments library:

Import the jarguments library.
from jarguments import create, parse

Provide your arguments with jarguments' classes.
# argument parser
args = parse.JParser(

# boolean argument
create.JBool('show-text', helpstring='determines whether "text" is shown'),

# integer argument
create.JInt('number', default=1),

# string argument
create.JStr('text'),
)

Use the outputs; they're parsed automatically!
if args.show_text:
for _ in range(args.number):
print(args.text)

Now it works just like any other command line application.
$ python example.py --show-text --text "hello" "world"
["hello", "world"]

Arguments without a default value are required. If you don't provide them, the script will raise an error:
$ python example.py --show-text
error: the following arguments are required: --text

The --help/-h flag displays help messages:
$ python example.py -h
usage: example.py [-h] [--show-text [SHOW_TEXT]] [--number NUMBER] --text [TEXT ...]

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--show-text [SHOW_TEXT]
determines whether "text" is shown
--number NUMBER
--text [TEXT ...]
