class pyTooling.Attributes.ArgParse.KeyValueFlag.NamedKeyValuePairsArgument[source]

Defines a switch argument like --help.

Some of the named parameters passed to add_argument() are predefined (or overwritten) to create a boolean parameter passed to the registered handler method. The boolean parameter is True if the switch argument is present in the commandline arguments, otherwise False.

Inheritance

__init__(short=None, long=None, dest=None, help=None)[source]

The constructor expects positional (*args), the destination parameter name dest and/or named parameters (**kwargs) which are passed to add_argument().

To implement a switch argument, the following named parameters are predefined:

action="store_const"
const=True
default=False

This implements a boolean parameter passed to the handler method.

Parameters:

short (str | None)
long (str | None)
dest (str | None)
help (str | None)

property Args: Tuple: A tuple of additional positional parameters (*args) passed to the attribute. These additional parameters are passed without modification to ArgumentParser.

Return type:

Tuple[Attribute, ...]
