Well, I have this little podcast aggregator (https://github.com/manolomartinez/greg) that I and a bunch of other people use. I started writing it some years ago, and the code is a bit of a palimpsest, newer functionality reflecting my (somewhat) better understanding of the language. One of the oldest bits is this main() function: def main(): # parse the args and call whatever function was selected try: args = parser.parse_args(sys.argv[1:]) args.func(vars(args)) except AttributeError as err: if str(err) == "\'Namespace\' object has no attribute \'func\'": parser.print_help() else: print("Something has gone wrong: {}".format(err), file = sys.stderr, flush = True) To judge by this thread, this is probably wrong/noobish?
