Using docopt, is there a way to make a double-dashed parameter that works with and without an equals sign?
I want both of the following commands to make --tls be true:
cmd --tls cmd --tls=true I seem to only be able to get one or the other to work by using
Options: --tls or
Options: --tls=false Separating them by a comma does not seem to work
Options: --tls, --tls=false I have the same problem. I can't find a solution, but here's the best work-around I've got:
""" Usage: test.py [tls [--true|--false]] """ from docopt import docopt arguments = docopt(__doc__) if arguments['tls'] and not (arguments['--true'] or arguments['--false']): arguments['--true'] = True so argument options would be:
cmd cmd tls cmd tls --true cmd tls --false note that this is case sensitive, there may be bugs if you capitalize TLS: https://github.com/docopt/docopt/issues/460
another option:
""" Usage: script.py [--tls [<tlsval>]] """ from docopt import docopt arguments = docopt(__doc__) assert arguments['<tlsval>'] in (None, 'true', 'false'), "invalid tls value -- expected true or false"
sorry for all the edits, but here's one more:
""" Usage: script.py [--MAS|--GPI [RESEND|ADD|REMOVE|SKU]] Options: --MAS only do MAS step --GPI only do GPI step, optionally specify ADD/REMOVE/SKU (default is RESEND) RESEND only GPI, strategy=RESEND (default for --GPI) ADD only GPI, strategy=ADD REMOVE only GPI, strategy=REMOVE SKU only GPI, strategy=SKU """ from docopt import docopt arguments = docopt(__doc__) strategy = [k for k in ['RESEND', 'ADD', 'REMOVE', 'SKU'] if arguments[k]] strategy = strategy[0] if strategy else "RESEND" #resend is default This one gets you the --argument but can't have the = after the --argument
argparse; you may be able to work backwards from its help!--tls=(true|false) Use TLS-encryption [default: true], but is propably not really what you want. Consider opening an issue.
