metacat options ordering

[hschellman]

Can we get a parser for metacat command line that treats

metacat file show -j dc4-hd-protodune:dc4_hd_protodune_20220928T024437_61501650_898_reco.root

and

metacat file show dc4-hd-protodune:dc4_hd_protodune_20220928T024437_61501650_898_reco.root -j

and possibly --json the same?

I use optparse which seems to make this easier.

Thanks, Heidi

Done for most of commands. The exception is "metacat query" because all the command tail after word "query" is concatenated into the query and "-" can be used in the query, so something like "metacat query files from dc4:dc4 -..." could theoretically be a valid query.

The client needs to be upgraded to v 3.15.3

Agreed.

I think some pre-checking before queries go to the server and and error recovery afterwards are going to be needed before we let users loose on this.

Any chance of going to optparser or argparser for the arguments, I think it would give you a lot more control.  I could come up with a short argparser version.

I use standard Python getopt module. I think it is sufficient

Check out optparse. It can make your life a lot easier
