README

      1 This repository contains a python implementation of the Google commandline
      2 flags module.
      3 
      4  GFlags defines a *distributed* command line system, replacing systems like
      5  getopt(), optparse and manual argument processing. Rather than an application
      6  having to define all flags in or near main(), each python module defines flags
      7  that are useful to it.  When one python module imports another, it gains
      8  access to the other's flags.
      9 
     10  It includes the ability to define flag types (boolean, float, interger, list),
     11  autogeneration of help (in both human and machine readable format) and reading
     12  arguments from a file. It also includes the ability to automatically generate
     13  man pages from the help flags.
     14 
     15 Documentation for implementation is at the top of gflags.py file.
     16 
     17 To install the python module, run
     18    python ./setup.py install
     19 
     20 When you install this library, you also get a helper application,
     21 gflags2man.py, installed into /usr/local/bin.  You can run gflags2man.py to
     22 create an instant man page, with all the commandline flags and their docs, for
     23 any C++ or python program you've written using the gflags library.

     10 Description:
     11   This project is the python equivalent of google-gflags, a Google commandline
     12   flag implementation for C++. It is intended to be used in situations where a
     13   project wants to mimic the command-line flag handling of a C++ app that uses
     14   google-gflags, or for a Python app that, via swig or some other means, is
     15   linked with a C++ app that uses google-gflags.
     16 
     17   The gflags package contains a library that implements commandline flags
     18   processing. As such it's a replacement for getopt(). It has increased
     19   flexibility, including built-in support for Python types, and the ability to
     20   define flags in the source file in which they're used. (This last is its
     21   major difference from OptParse.)
