Opster is a command line parser, intended to make writing command line applications easy and painless. It uses built-in Python types (lists, dictionaries, etc) to define options, which makes configuration clear and concise. Additionally it contains possibility to handle subcommands (i.e. hg commit or svn update).
- parsing arguments from sys.argv or custom strings
- converting from string to appropriate Python objects
- help message generation
- positional and named arguments
- subcommands support
- short, clean and concise definitions
- ability to shorten names of subcommand and long options
- Opster is a single file, which means that you can easily include it with your application
