When dealing with many options, it is convenient to group these
|
||||
options for better help output. An \class{OptionParser} can contain
|
||||
several option groups, each of which can contain several options.
|
||||
|
||||
Continuing with the parser defined above, adding an
|
||||
\class{OptionGroup} to a parser is easy:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
group = OptionGroup(parser, ``Dangerous Options'',
|
||||
``Caution: use these options at your own risk. ``
|
||||
``It is believed that some of them bite.'')
|
||||
group.add_option(``-g'', action=''store_true'', help=''Group option.'')
|
||||
parser.add_option_group(group)
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
This would result in the following help output:
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
usage: [options] arg1 arg2
|
||||
|
||||
options:
|
||||
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
||||
-v, --verbose make lots of noise [default]
|
||||
-q, --quiet be vewwy quiet (I'm hunting wabbits)
|
||||
-fFILE, --file=FILE write output to FILE
|
||||
-mMODE, --mode=MODE interaction mode: one of 'novice', 'intermediate'
|
||||
[default], 'expert'
|
||||
|
||||
Dangerous Options:
|
||||
Caution: use of these options is at your own risk. It is believed that
|
||||
some of them bite.
|
||||
-g Group option.
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
