'''Fancy option parser
Usage::
>>> def serve(dirname, **opts):
... """this is a do-nothing command
...
... you can do nothing with this command"""
... print opts.get('listen'), opts.get('pid_file')
>>> opts = [('l', 'listen', 'localhost',
... 'ip to listen on'),
... ('p', 'port', 8000,
... 'port to listen on'),
... ('d', 'daemonize', False,
... 'daemonize process'),
... ('', 'pid-file', '',
... 'name of file to write process ID to')]
>>> from fancyopts import fancyopts
>>> fancyopts(serve, 'serve [-l HOST] DIR', opts, '--pid-f test dir'.split())
localhost test
You have supplied directory name here and path to file with process id.
Order of options is preserved.
Each option definition is a tuple consisting of 4 elements:
- short name
- long name
- default value
- help string
Default value determines option type, which is selected from this choices:
- function: return value of function called with a specified value is passed
- integer: value is convert to integer
- string: value is passed as is
- list: value is appended to this list
- boolean/None: `not default` is passed
