Description: A Python implementation of the Google commandline flags module
16
GFlags defines a *distributed* command line system, replacing systems like
17
getopt(), optparse and manual argument processing. Rather than an application
18
having to define all flags in or near main(), each Python module defines flags
19
that are useful to it. When one Python module imports another, it gains
20
access to the other's flags.
22
It includes the ability to define flag types (boolean, float, interger, list),
23
autogeneration of help (in both human and machine readable format) and reading
24
arguments from a file. It also includes the ability to automatically generate
25
man pages from the help flags.
