Add Shell Arguments

[protwan]

I propose that the application takes parameters via command line instead of hardcoding them in main.py. Also the output should be written to stdout (easily redirected to a file if needed).

I have changed a script a little bit for my use case. This is incomplete and just a quick glimplse for how I think it should look like.

from src.gmaps import Gmaps
import argparse
import sys

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("query", type=str)
parser.add_argument("-m", "--max-results", type=int, default=None)
parser.add_argument("--has-website", action="store_true", default=None)
parser.add_argument("--has-phone", action="store_true", default=None)
parser.add_argument("--fields", type=str, nargs="+", default="default")

args = parser.parse_args()
sys.stderr.write(str(args) + "\n")

Gmaps.places([args.query],
             max=args.max_results,
             has_website=args.has_website,
             has_phone=args.has_phone,
             fields=args.fields)

Use it like

python main.py --has-website --has-phone --fields name website phone owner address --max-results 100 "restaurants in paris" > "restaurants.json"

Benefits:

• It can be easily used as part of other scripts
• The results can be piped to other scripts
• No need to edit files for each run
