| | I was asked recently about how to test the argument parsing bit of an application that used argparse. argparse is a built in Python library for dealing with parsing command line arguments for command line interfaces, CLI's. You know, like git clone . git is the application. is a command line argument. clone is a sub-command. Well, that might be a bad example, as I'm not going to use subcommands in my example, but lots of this still applies, even if you are using subcommands.

| | Python is a great language to build command-line tools in as it's very expressive and concise. You want to have the ability to parse arguments in your scripts as you don't want to hard-code the relevant variable values to make the tool useful. So how do we go about this in Python? It's easily done using the argparse module. With argparse, you define the different arguments which you expect, their default values and their shortcuts to call them.
