RedCLAP - Command Line Arguments Parser (Redesigned)

CLAP aims at being powerful and advanced command line interface library for Python 3 language. Having built-in support for modes, optional and obligatory options, options with arguments (with type-checking with arbitrary types) it enables programmers to create rich command line interfaces for Python 3 programs.

Features of CLAP:

• support for single-level and nested modes (with per-mode and global options),
• support for grouped short options (ls -lhR),
• support for long options with or without equal-sign-connected arguments (--log=./file.log and --log ./file.log areboth correct),
• support for option aliases (short/long names),
• support for typed arguments (str, int, float built-in and other arbitrary types via callbacks),
• built-in type checking of option arguments,
• support for multiple arguments (e.g. --point 0 0),
• checking for missing arguments with options which require them,
• checking for conflicting options (eg. --quiet must not come with option --verbose),
• support for options that MUST be passed to the program,
• support for options required by other options (e.g. --key requires --value),
• support for options wanted by other options (e.g. --which wants --this or --that or both),
• good set of exceptions with detailed error messages,
• ability to load interface from JSON descriptions,
