my python code looks like this
parser.add_argument("-c","--configFile",action ='store_true',\
help='I am here one travel')
the idea is when running with -c
option, I could have select to use my special config file. However, I issue my command python mypython.py -c myconfig
, I am getting unrecognized argument: myconfig
. What am I missing?
"-c" will store True
or False
, so why are you passing a value (myconfig) to it? You would call it as:
python mypython.py -c
If you want -c to take an argument, then it shouldn't have the action store_true.
As Adam mentioned, you'll want to change your parser's "action", as stated in the docs .
But it sounds like you want to indicate whether that special config is active, or not. In which case, using action='store_true'
or action='store_false'
would be correct. You just won't pass the myconfig argument.
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='So something')
parser.add_argument(
'-c',
'--c',
dest='enable_config',
action='store_true',
required=False,
help='Enable special config settings',
)
