15 parser.add_option("-f", "--file", dest="filename",
16 help="write report to FILE", metavar="FILE")
17 parser.add_option("-q", "--quiet",

158 Abstract base class for formatting option help. OptionParser
159 instances should use one of the HelpFormatter subclasses for
160 formatting help; by default IndentedHelpFormatter is used.

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

189 format string controlling how short options with values are
190 printed in help text. Must be either "%s%s" ("-fFILE") or
191 "%s %s" ("-f FILE"), because those are the two syntaxes that
192 Optik supports.

1127 usage : string
1128 a usage string for your program. Before it is displayed
1129 to the user, "%prog" will be expanded to the name of
1130 your program (self.prog or os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])).
1131 prog : string
1132 the name of the current program (to override
1133 os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])).
1134 epilog : string
1135 paragraph of help text to print after option help
1137 option_groups : [OptionGroup]
1138 list of option groups in this parser (option groups are
1139 irrelevant for parsing the command-line, but very useful
1140 for generating help)
1142 allow_interspersed_args : bool = true
1143 if true, positional arguments may be interspersed with options.
1144 Assuming -a and -b each take a single argument, the command-line
1145 -ablah foo bar -bboo baz
1146 will be interpreted the same as
1147 -ablah -bboo -- foo bar baz
1148 If this flag were false, that command line would be interpreted as
1149 -ablah -- foo bar -bboo baz
1150 -- ie. we stop processing options as soon as we see the first
1151 non-option argument. (This is the tradition followed by
1152 Python's getopt module, Perl's Getopt::Std, and other argument-
1153 parsing libraries, but it is generally annoying to users.)
1155 process_default_values : bool = true
1156 if true, option default values are processed similarly to option
1157 values from the command line: that is, they are passed to the
1158 type-checking function for the option's type (as long as the
1159 default value is a string). (This really only matters if you
1160 have defined custom types; see SF bug #955889.) Set it to false
1161 to restore the behaviour of Optik 1.4.1 and earlier.
1163 rargs : [string]
1164 the argument list currently being parsed. Only set when
1165 parse_args() is active, and continually trimmed down as
1166 we consume arguments. Mainly there for the benefit of
1167 callback options.
1168 largs : [string]
1169 the list of leftover arguments that we have skipped while
1170 parsing options. If allow_interspersed_args is false, this
1171 list is always empty.
1172 values : Values
1173 the set of option values currently being accumulated. Only
1174 set when parse_args() is active. Also mainly for callbacks.
1176 Because of the 'rargs', 'largs', and 'values' attributes,
1177 OptionParser is not thread-safe. If, for some perverse reason, you
1178 need to parse command-line arguments simultaneously in different
1179 threads, use different OptionParser instances.
