+"""Command-line parsing library
+
+This module is an optparse-inspired command-line parsing library that:
+
+ - handles both optional and positional arguments
+ - produces highly informative usage messages
+ - supports parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
+
+The following is a simple usage example that sums integers from the
+command-line and writes the result to a file::
+
+ parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
+ description='sum the integers at the command line')
+ parser.add_argument(
+ 'integers', metavar='int', nargs='+', type=int,
+ help='an integer to be summed')
+ parser.add_argument(
+ '--log', default=sys.stdout, type=argparse.FileType('w'),
+ help='the file where the sum should be written')
+ args = parser.parse_args()
+ args.log.write('%s' % sum(args.integers))
+ args.log.close()
+
+The module contains the following public classes:
+
+ - ArgumentParser -- The main entry point for command-line parsing. As the
+ example above shows, the add_argument() method is used to populate
+ the parser with actions for optional and positional arguments. Then
+ the parse_args() method is invoked to convert the args at the
+ command-line into an object with attributes.
+
+ - ArgumentError -- The exception raised by ArgumentParser objects when
+ there are errors with the parser's actions. Errors raised while
+ parsing the command-line are caught by ArgumentParser and emitted
+ as command-line messages.
+
+ - FileType -- A factory for defining types of files to be created. As the
+ example above shows, instances of FileType are typically passed as
+ the type= argument of add_argument() calls.
+
+ - Action -- The base class for parser actions. Typically actions are
+ selected by passing strings like 'store_true' or 'append_const' to
+ the action= argument of add_argument(). However, for greater
+ customization of ArgumentParser actions, subclasses of Action may
+ be defined and passed as the action= argument.
+
+ - HelpFormatter, RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, RawTextHelpFormatter,
+ ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter -- Formatter classes which
+ may be passed as the formatter_class= argument to the
+ ArgumentParser constructor. HelpFormatter is the default,
+ RawDescriptionHelpFormatter and RawTextHelpFormatter tell the parser
+ not to change the formatting for help text, and
+ ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter adds information about argument defaults
+ to the help.
+
+All other classes in this module are considered implementation details.
+(Also note that HelpFormatter and RawDescriptionHelpFormatter are only
+considered public as object names -- the API of the formatter objects is
+still considered an implementation detail.)
