Changelog

0.6.0 (2018-04-13)

New features

  • An array of functions can now be as the value of converter property, so that multi-argumnet options can use different conversion rules for different arguments (#14).
  • Mutexes can now include positional arguments (#11).
  • Added hidden property for arguments, options and commands, removing them from the autogenerated usage and help strings.
  • Added :group(name, ...) method to Parser and Command objects, allowing custom grouping of arguments, options, and commands in autogenerated help string.
  • Added help_vertical_space property for configuring number of extra newlines between help strings for different arguments and options in autogenerated help string.
  • Added usage_margin and usage_max_width properties for configuring usage string autogeneration.
  • Added help_usage_margin and help_description_margin properties for configuring help string autogeneration.
  • Added help_max_width property. If set, descriptions in help string are automatically wrapped to fit into given number of columns.
  • Argparse version is now available as argparse.version.

Improvements

  • -- can now be used as a normal option name, with arguments after -- always passed to it verbatim (#17).
  • When generating help messages for options with arguments and multiple aliases, usage strings for different aliases are put on separate lines and vertically aligned (#15).
