TypeError: __init__() 在 python 的 argparser 中得到了一个意外的关键字参数 'choices'

Question

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-u', '--url',help='Passing one url')
parser.add_argument('-t', '--type', action='store_true',help='To download pages/posts', choices=['pages', 'posts'])
args = parser.parse_args()

url = args.url

if args.type == "pages":
    url_link = url + "/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/?per_page=100"
if args.type == "posts":
    url_link = url + "/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?per_page=100"

If the user chooses "pages" then the pages url_link should be used. If they choose "posts", it should pass "posts" url_link. If they don't choose anything, an error handling of "Please choose your type" in --type error.

I tried doing this but it says choices in unknown. Weird... Please help.

Ps - This is my first question on StackOverFlow. Forgive me if I made any mistake and please comment what to correct.

Answer 1

It doesn't make sense to specify choices when the action is 'store_true' .

Perhaps you meant:

parser.add_argument('-t', '--type', help='To download pages/posts',
                    choices=['pages', 'posts'])
