__main__.go() -> Adding command-line parsers with getopt #3
Description
If you want something else to do until Friday given my notes on #2 , start looking at different ways we can pull command line arguments. I've listed a few different ones we can work with if one speaks to you, or we can discuss it on Friday. All of these are fine.
- Click : A CLI tool that helps to automate a lot of the processes such as automatic help pages. We'll need to (very, cuz this is a very deep topic) briefly discuss decorators.
- The getopt module : I've actually already set up some of our code for this with the globals in main on lines 10 and 11. Pretty basic but that's fine.
- The argparser module : Another base python module like getopt that creates a parser object to do the object reading rather than using if-else blocks.
Feel free to read over these and see if one seems easier to grasp than the others. No rush on any of this.
