自定義 argparse 幫助消息

[英]Customize argparse help message

我編寫了以下示例代碼來演示我的問題。

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('-v', '--version', action='version',
                    version='%(prog)s 1.0')
parser.parse_args()

這會產生以下幫助消息。

$ python foo.py --help
usage: foo.py [-h] [-v]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -v, --version  show program's version number and exit

我想自定義此幫助輸出,使其大寫所有短語和句子,並在句子后放置句號。 換句話說,我希望像這樣生成幫助消息。

$ python foo.py --help
Usage: foo.py [-h] [-v]

Optional arguments:
  -h, --help     Show this help message and exit.
  -v, --version  Show program's version number and exit.

這是我可以使用 argparse API 控制的東西嗎? 如果是這樣,如何? 你能否提供一個小例子來說明如何做到這一點?

首先:大寫這些短語與慣例argparse ,並且argparse並沒有真正幫助您輕松更改這些字符串。 這里有三類不同的字符串:來自幫助格式化程序的樣板文本、章節標題和每個特定選項的幫助文本。 所有這些字符串都是可本地化的; 可以通過gettext()模塊支持為所有這些字符串提供“大寫”翻譯。 也就是說,如果您有足夠的決心並稍微閱讀源代碼,則可以訪問並替換所有這些字符串。

version操作包括默認help文本,但您可以通過設置help參數來提供自己的help文本。 這同樣適用於help操作; 如果將add_help參數設置為False ,則可以手動添加該操作:

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(add_help=False)

parser.add_argument('-v', '--version', action='version',
                    version='%(prog)s 1.0', help="Show program's version number and exit.")
parser.add_argument('-h', '--help', action='help', default=argparse.SUPPRESS,
                    help='Show this help message and exit.')

接下來, optional arguments message 是組標題 每個解析器都有兩個默認組,一個用於位置參數,另一個用於可選。 您可以通過屬性_positionals_optionals來訪問它們,這兩個屬性都有一個title屬性:

parser._positionals.title = 'Positional arguments'
parser._optionals.title = 'Optional arguments'

請注意,通過訪問以下划線開頭的名稱,您正在冒險進入模塊的未記錄的私有 API,並且您的代碼可能會在未來的更新中中斷。

最后,要更改usage字符串,您必須對幫助格式化程序進行子類化; 將子類作為formatter_class參數傳入:

class CapitalisedHelpFormatter(argparse.HelpFormatter):
    def add_usage(self, usage, actions, groups, prefix=None):
        if prefix is None:
            prefix = 'Usage: '
        return super(CapitalisedHelpFormatter, self).add_usage(
            usage, actions, groups, prefix)

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=CapitalisedHelpFormatter)

演示,將所有這些放在一起:

>>> import argparse
>>> class CapitalisedHelpFormatter(argparse.HelpFormatter):
...     def add_usage(self, usage, actions, groups, prefix=None):
...         if prefix is None:
...             prefix = 'Usage: '
...         return super(CapitalisedHelpFormatter, self).add_usage(
...             usage, actions, groups, prefix)
...
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(add_help=False, formatter_class=CapitalisedHelpFormatter)
>>> parser._positionals.title = 'Positional arguments'
>>> parser._optionals.title = 'Optional arguments'
>>> parser.add_argument('-v', '--version', action='version',
...                     version='%(prog)s 1.0', help="Show program's version number and exit.")
_VersionAction(option_strings=['-v', '--version'], dest='version', nargs=0, const=None, default='==SUPPRESS==', type=None, choices=None, help="Show program's version number and exit.", metavar=None)
>>> parser.add_argument('-h', '--help', action='help', default=argparse.SUPPRESS,
...                     help='Show this help message and exit.')
_HelpAction(option_strings=['-h', '--help'], dest='help', nargs=0, const=None, default='==SUPPRESS==', type=None, choices=None, help='Show this help message and exit.', metavar=None)
>>> print(parser.format_help())
Usage: [-v] [-h]

Optional arguments:
  -v, --version  Show program's version number and exit.
  -h, --help     Show this help message and exit.

編輯:如果此后顯着擴展了這一點,並將繼續在GitHub 上這樣做。 為了保持一致性,我將原樣保留我的答案。


與其依賴於內部 API(如有更改,恕不另行通知),這里提供了一種僅使用公共 API 的替代方法。 它可以說更復雜,但反過來又可以讓您最大程度地控制打印的內容:

class ArgumentParser(argparse.ArgumentParser):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ArgumentParser, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.program = { key: kwargs[key] for key in kwargs }
        self.options = []

    def add_argument(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ArgumentParser, self).add_argument(*args, **kwargs)
        option = {}
        option["flags"] = [ item for item in args ]
        for key in kwargs:
            option[key] = kwargs[key]
        self.options.append(option)

    def print_help(self):
        # use self.program/self.options to produce custom help text

這個怎么運作:

  • 利用argparse.ArgumentParser構造函數來捕獲和存儲程序信息(例如描述、用法)
  • 進入argparse.ArgumentParser.add_argument()以捕獲和存儲添加的參數(例如標志、幫助、默認值)
  • 重新定義argparse.ArgumentParser.print_help()並使用先前存儲的程序信息/參數來生成幫助文本

這是一個涵蓋一些常見用例的完整示例。 請注意,它絕不是完整的(例如,不支持位置參數或具有多個參數的選項),但應該提供可能的印象:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

Martijn 給出了幾個想到的修復 - 提供help參數和自定義 Formatter 類。

另一種部分修復是在創建參數后修改幫助字符串。 add_argument創建並返回一個包含參數和默認值的Action對象。 您可以保存指向此的鏈接,並修改Action 您還可以獲得這些操作的列表,並據此采取行動。

讓我舉例說明,對於帶有默認幫助和其他參數的簡單解析器,操作列表是:

In [1064]: parser._actions
Out[1064]: 
[_HelpAction(option_strings=['-h', '--help'], dest='help', nargs=0, const=None, default='==SUPPRESS==', type=None, choices=None, help='show this help message and exit', metavar=None),
 _StoreAction(option_strings=['-f', '--foo'], dest='foo', nargs=None, const=None, default=None, type=None, choices=None, help=None, metavar=None)]

我可以查看和修改其中任何一個的help屬性:

In [1065]: parser._actions[0].help
Out[1065]: 'show this help message and exit'
In [1066]: parser._actions[0].help='Show this help message and exit.'

產生這個幫助:

In [1067]: parser.parse_args(['-h'])
usage: ipython3 [-h] [-f FOO]    
optional arguments:
  -h, --help         Show this help message and exit.
  -f FOO, --foo FOO

使用parser._actions列表使用 'private' 屬性,有些人認為這是不明智的。 但是在 Python 中,公共/私有的區別並不嚴格,可以小心地打破。 Martijn 通過訪問parser._positionals.title來做到這parser._positionals.title

更改該組標題的另一種方法是使用自定義參數組

ogroup=parser.add_argument_group('Correct Optionals Title')
ogroup.add_argument('-v',...)
ogroup.add_argument('-h',...)
