A recent post recommended the docopt module so I've incorporated it into
the code I'm using to learn SQLite. It's not behaving as I expected.
Here's a snippet of code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding : utf -8 -*-
# file: 'test'
"""Usage: test [new_data | text_entry FILE | show_data ] [-hdv]
[--db=DATABASE] [--tb=TABLE]
-h --help show this
-d --debug show debugging statements
-v --verbose shows table when not absolutely necessary.
--db DATABASE specify database file to use [default: ./uwomeds68.db]
--tb TABLE specify table to use [default: matesTb]
"""
You have no definitions for new_data, text_entry, FILE and show_data,
and the use of the square brackets around them looks wrong. Here's a
real life example from my code.
"""Usage: cashflow.py [-t] ACCOUNTS TRANSFERS ENDDATE (report|plot)
Arguments:
ACCOUNTS mandatory file containing accounts data
TRANSFERS mandatory file containing transfer data
ENDDATE mandatory end date for the report or plot
Options:
-h --help
-t show total of accounts
"""
If you haven't already looked at them there are lots of extremely useful
examples here https://github.com/docopt/docopt/tree/master/examples.
