is there an options parser that can handle + and ++

[metulburr]

Argparse handles both i believe

https://docs.python.org/3/library/argpar...efix-chars

Im not sure beyond that as i never use + prefix for options.

I would assume something like this -f/--foo or -b/--bar or +f/++foo or +b/++bar can all be used. f and foo are result back to foo key in dictionary.

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='PROG', prefix_chars='-+')
parser.add_argument('+f', '++foo')
parser.add_argument('-f', '--foo')
parser.add_argument('+b', '++bar')
parser.add_argument('-b', '--bar')
args = vars(parser.parse_args())
print(args)

Output:
metulburr@ubuntu:~$ python3.6 test11.py --foo test
{'foo': 'test', 'bar': None}
metulburr@ubuntu:~$ python3.6 test11.py -f test
{'foo': 'test', 'bar': None}

{'foo': None, 'bar': 'b'}

metulburr@ubuntu:~$ python3.6 test11.py --bar test ++foo tester
{'foo': 'tester', 'bar': 'test'}
metulburr@ubuntu:~$ python3.6 test11.py --bar test --foo tester
{'foo': 'tester', 'bar': 'test'}
