Yeah, I have been hearing that people are having troubles converting, but I have only used argparse - got lucky there I guess.
I am thinking just making the function which spits the class out. Maybe not very optimised solution, but simple. Argument parsing in my case is very far from being a bottleneck. > On 27 Nov 2023, at 22:36, Mats Wichmann <m...@wichmann.us> wrote: > > On 11/27/23 13:21, Dom Grigonis wrote: >> Thank you, exactly what I was looking for! >> One more question following this.
