argspander

Python package that provides argument expansion of objects.

Why:

It was created to enable a sane way of entering arguments gathered from argparse into your program, without the need to pass round an arguments object.

Usage:

import argspander @argspander.expand ... def f(a, b, c): ... print "a: %s, b: %s, c: %s" % (a, b, c) f(3, 2, 1) a: 3, b: 2, c: 1 class Args(): # similar to the object return by argparse ... a = 3 ... b = 2 ... c = 1 f(Args(), expand=True) a: 3, b: 2, c: 1
