152 Abstract base class for formatting option help. OptionParser
153 instances should use one of the HelpFormatter subclasses for
154 formatting help; by default IndentedHelpFormatter is used.

157 parser : OptionParser
158 the controlling OptionParser instance
159 indent_increment : int
160 the number of columns to indent per nesting level
161 max_help_position : int
162 the maximum starting column for option help text
163 help_position : int
164 the calculated starting column for option help text;
165 initially the same as the maximum
166 width : int
167 total number of columns for output (pass None to constructor for
168 this value to be taken from the $COLUMNS environment variable)
169 level : int
170 current indentation level
171 current_indent : int
172 current indentation level (in columns)
173 help_width : int
174 number of columns available for option help text (calculated)
175 default_tag : str
176 text to replace with each option's default value, "%default"
177 by default. Set to false value to disable default value expansion.
178 option_strings : { Option : str }
179 maps Option instances to the snippet of help text explaining
180 the syntax of that option, e.g. "-h, --help" or
181 "-fFILE, --file=FILE"
182 _short_opt_fmt : str
183 format string controlling how short options with values are
184 printed in help text. Must be either "%s%s" ("-fFILE") or
185 "%s %s" ("-f FILE"), because those are the two syntaxes that
186 Optik supports.

189 or "%s=%s" ("--file=FILE").

1120 Instance attributes:
1121 usage : string
1122 a usage string for your program. Before it is displayed
1123 to the user, "%prog" will be expanded to the name of
1124 your program (self.prog or os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])).
1125 prog : string
1126 the name of the current program (to override
1127 os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])).
1128 epilog : string
1129 paragraph of help text to print after option help
1131 option_groups : [OptionGroup]
1132 list of option groups in this parser (option groups are
1133 irrelevant for parsing the command-line, but very useful
1134 for generating help)
1136 allow_interspersed_args : bool = true
1137 if true, positional arguments may be interspersed with options.
1138 Assuming -a and -b each take a single argument, the command-line
1139 -ablah foo bar -bboo baz
1140 will be interpreted the same as
1141 -ablah -bboo -- foo bar baz
1142 If this flag were false, that command line would be interpreted as
1143 -ablah -- foo bar -bboo baz
1144 -- ie. we stop processing options as soon as we see the first
1145 non-option argument. (This is the tradition followed by
1146 Python's getopt module, Perl's Getopt::Std, and other argument-
1147 parsing libraries, but it is generally annoying to users.)
1149 process_default_values : bool = true
1150 if true, option default values are processed similarly to option
1151 values from the command line: that is, they are passed to the
1152 type-checking function for the option's type (as long as the
1153 default value is a string). (This really only matters if you
1154 have defined custom types; see SF bug #955889.) Set it to false
1155 to restore the behaviour of Optik 1.4.1 and earlier.
1157 rargs : [string]
1158 the argument list currently being parsed. Only set when
1159 parse_args() is active, and continually trimmed down as
1160 we consume arguments. Mainly there for the benefit of
1161 callback options.
1162 largs : [string]
1163 the list of leftover arguments that we have skipped while
1164 parsing options. If allow_interspersed_args is false, this
1165 list is always empty.
1166 values : Values
1167 the set of option values currently being accumulated. Only
1168 set when parse_args() is active. Also mainly for callbacks.
1170 Because of the 'rargs', 'largs', and 'values' attributes,
1171 OptionParser is not thread-safe. If, for some perverse reason, you
1172 need to parse command-line arguments simultaneously in different
1173 threads, use different OptionParser instances.
