+"""Command-line parsing library
+
+This module is an optparse-inspired command-line parsing library that:
+
+* handles both optional and positional arguments
+* produces highly informative usage messages
+* supports parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
+
+The following is a simple usage example that sums integers from the
+command-line and writes the result to a file:
+
+ parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
+ description='sum the integers at the command line')
+ parser.add_argument(
+ 'integers', metavar='int', nargs='+', type=int,
+ help='an integer to be summed')
+ parser.add_argument(
+ '--log', default=sys.stdout, type=argparse.FileType('w'),
+ help='the file where the sum should be written')
+ args = parser.parse_args()
+ args.log.write('%s' % sum(args.integers))
+ args.log.close()
+
+The module contains the following public classes:
+
+ ArgumentParser -- The main entry point for command-line parsing. As the
+ example above shows, the add_argument() method is used to populate
+ the parser with actions for optional and positional arguments. Then
+ the parse_args() method is invoked to convert the args at the
+ command-line into an object with attributes.
+
+ ArgumentError -- The exception raised by ArgumentParser objects when
+ there are errors with the parser's actions. Errors raised while
+ parsing the command-line are caught by ArgumentParser and emitted
+ as command-line messages.
+
+ FileType -- A factory for defining types of files to be created. As the
+ example above shows, instances of FileType are typically passed as
+ the type= argument of add_argument() calls.
+
+ Action -- The base class for parser actions. Typically actions are
+ selected by passing strings like 'store_true' or 'append_const' to
+ the action= argument of add_argument(). However, for greater
+ customization of ArgumentParser actions, subclasses of Action may
+ be defined and passed as the action= argument.
+
+ HelpFormatter, RawDescriptionHelpFormatter -- Formatter classes which
+ may be passed as the formatter_class= argument to the
+ ArgumentParser constructor. HelpFormatter is the default, while
+ RawDescriptionHelpFormatter tells the parser not to perform any
+ line-wrapping on description text.
+
+All other classes in this module are considered implementation details.
+(Also note that HelpFormatter and RawDescriptionHelpFormatter are only
+considered public as object names -- the API of the formatter objects is
+still considered an implementation detail.)

+
+ dest -- The name of the attribute to hold the created object(s)
+
+ nargs -- The number of command-line arguments that should be consumed.
+ By default, one argument will be consumed and a single value will
+ be produced. Other values include:
+ * N (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
+ * '?' consumes zero or one arguments
+ * '*' consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
+ * '+' consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
+ Note that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that
+ with the default, a single value will be produced, while with
+ nargs=1, a list containing a single value will be produced.
+
+ const -- The value to be produced if the option is specified and the
+ option uses an action that takes no values.
+
+ default -- The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
+
+ type -- The type which the command-line arguments should be converted
+ to, should be one of 'string', 'int', 'float', 'complex' or a
+ callable object that accepts a single string argument. If None,
+ 'string' is assumed.
+
+ choices -- A container of values that should be allowed. If not None,
+ after a command-line argument has been converted to the appropriate
+ type, an exception will be raised if it is not a member of this
+ collection.
+
+ required -- True if the action must always be specified at the command
+ line. This is only meaningful for optional command-line arguments.
