The argparse module also automatically +generates help and usage messages and issues errors when users give the +program invalid arguments. + +As of Python >= 2.7, the argparse module is maintained within the Python +standard library. For users who still need to support Python < 2.7, it is +also provided as a separate package, which tries to stay compatible with the +module in the standard library, but also supports older Python versions. + +argparse is licensed under the Python license, for details see LICENSE.txt. + |
