argparse在 Python 2.7中用于解析输入选项。我的选择之一是多项选择。我想在其帮助文本中列出一个列表,例如

from argparse import ArgumentParser

parser = ArgumentParser(description='test')

parser.add_argument('-g', choices=['a', 'b', 'g', 'd', 'e'], default='a',
    help="Some option, where\n"
         " a = alpha\n"
         " b = beta\n"
         " g = gamma\n"
         " d = delta\n"
         " e = epsilon")

parser.parse_args()

但是,argparse删除所有换行符和连续空格。结果看起来像

~/下载:52$ python2.7 x.py -h
用法:x.py [-h] [-g {a,b,g,d,e}]

测试

可选参数:
  -h, --help 显示此帮助信息并退出
  -g {a,b,g,d,e} 一些选项,其中 a = alpha b = beta g = gamma d = delta e
                  = ε

如何在帮助文本中插入换行符?

尝试使用RawTextHelpFormatter

from argparse import RawTextHelpFormatter
parser = ArgumentParser(description='test', formatter_class=RawTextHelpFormatter)

如果您只想覆盖一个选项,则不应使用RawTextHelpFormatter. 相反,子类化HelpFormatter并为应该“原始”处理的选项提供一个特殊的介绍(我使用"R|rest of help"):

import argparse

class SmartFormatter(argparse.HelpFormatter):

    def _split_lines(self, text, width):
        if text.startswith('R|'):
            return text[2:].splitlines()  
        # this is the RawTextHelpFormatter._split_lines
        return argparse.HelpFormatter._split_lines(self, text, width)

并使用它:

from argparse import ArgumentParser

parser = ArgumentParser(description='test', formatter_class=SmartFormatter)

parser.add_argument('-g', choices=['a', 'b', 'g', 'd', 'e'], default='a',
    help="R|Some option, where\n"
         " a = alpha\n"
         " b = beta\n"
         " g = gamma\n"
         " d = delta\n"
         " e = epsilon")

parser.parse_args()

.add_argument()任何其他没有以帮助开头的调用R|都将被正常包装。

这是我对 argparse 的改进的一部分。完整的 SmartFormatter 还支持将默认值添加到所有选项,以及实用程序描述的原始输入。完整版有它自己的_split_lines方法,因此对版本字符串进行的任何格式化都会被保留:

parser.add_argument('--version', '-v', action="version",
                    version="version...\n   42!")

另一种简单的方法是包含textwrap

例如,

import argparse, textwrap
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='some information',
        usage='use "python %(prog)s --help" for more information',
        formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter)

parser.add_argument('--argument', default=somedefault, type=sometype,
        help= textwrap.dedent('''\
        First line
        Second line
        More lines ... '''))

这样,我们就可以避免每条输出线前面长长的空白。

usage: use "python your_python_program.py --help" for more information

Prepare input file

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
--argument ARGUMENT
                      First line
                      Second line
                      More lines ...

我遇到过类似的问题(Python 2.7.6)。我尝试使用以下方法将描述部分分解为几行RawTextHelpFormatter

parser = ArgumentParser(description="""First paragraph 

                                       Second paragraph

                                       Third paragraph""",  
                                       usage='%(prog)s [OPTIONS]', 
                                       formatter_class=RawTextHelpFormatter)

options = parser.parse_args()

并得到:

用法:play-with-argparse.py [选项]

第一段

                        第二段

                        第三段

可选参数:
  -h, --help 显示此帮助信息并退出

所以RawTextHelpFormatter不是解决方案。因为它打印源代码中出现的描述,保留所有空白字符(我想在我的源代码中保留额外的标签以提高可读性,但我不想全部打印出来。原始格式​​化程序也不会换行太长,例如超过 80 个字符)。

感谢@Anton,他启发了上面的正确方向。但是该解决方案需要稍作修改才能格式化描述部分。

无论如何,需要自定义格式化程序。我扩展了现有的HelpFormatter类并覆盖了_fill_text这样的方法:

import textwrap as _textwrap
class MultilineFormatter(argparse.HelpFormatter):
    def _fill_text(self, text, width, indent):
        text = self._whitespace_matcher.sub(' ', text).strip()
        paragraphs = text.split('|n ')
        multiline_text = ''
        for paragraph in paragraphs:
            formatted_paragraph = _textwrap.fill(paragraph, width, initial_indent=indent, subsequent_indent=indent) + '\n\n'
            multiline_text = multiline_text + formatted_paragraph
        return multiline_text

与来自argparse模块的原始源代码进行比较:

def _fill_text(self, text, width, indent):
    text = self._whitespace_matcher.sub(' ', text).strip()
    return _textwrap.fill(text, width, initial_indent=indent,
                                       subsequent_indent=indent)

在原始代码中,整个描述都被包装了。在上面的自定义格式化程序中,整个文本被分成几个块,每个块都是独立格式化的。

因此,借助自定义格式化程序:

parser = ArgumentParser(description= """First paragraph 
                                        |n                              
                                        Second paragraph
                                        |n
                                        Third paragraph""",  
                usage='%(prog)s [OPTIONS]',
                formatter_class=MultilineFormatter)

options = parser.parse_args()

输出是:

我承认我发现这是一个非常令人沮丧的经历,因为它似乎有很多其他人都有,考虑到我看到发布的解决方案的数量以及我在网络上看到这个问题的次数。但是我发现这些解决方案中的大多数对我来说都太复杂了,我想分享一下我所拥有的最简单的解决方案。

这是演示的脚本:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import textwrap
from argparse import ArgumentParser, HelpFormatter

class RawFormatter(HelpFormatter):
    def _fill_text(self, text, width, indent):
        return "\n".join([textwrap.fill(line, width) for line in textwrap.indent(textwrap.dedent(text), indent).splitlines()])

因此,原始描述中的所有基本格式都被整齐地保留了下来,唉,我们不得不使用自定义格式器,但它是一个单行器。它可以更清楚地写成:

class RawFormatter(HelpFormatter):
    def _fill_text(self, text, width, indent):
        text = textwrap.dedent(text)          # Strip the indent from the original python definition that plagues most of us.
        text = textwrap.indent(text, indent)  # Apply any requested indent.
        text = text.splitlines()              # Make a list of lines
        text = [textwrap.fill(line, width) for line in text] # Wrap each line 
        text = "\n".join(text)                # Join the lines again
        return text

但我自己更喜欢一行。

从上面描述的 SmartFomatter 开始,我结束了该解决方案:

class SmartFormatter(argparse.HelpFormatter):
    '''
         Custom Help Formatter used to split help text when '\n' was 
         inserted in it.
    '''

    def _split_lines(self, text, width):
        r = []
        for t in text.splitlines(): r.extend(argparse.HelpFormatter._split_lines(self, t, width))
        return r

请注意,奇怪的是传递给顶级解析器的 formatter_class 参数不是由 sub_parsers 继承的,必须为每个创建的 sub_parser 再次传递它。

我想在描述文本中手动换行,并自动换行;但这里的任何建议都不适合我——所以我最终修改了这里的答案中给出的 SmartFormatter 类;尽管 argparse 方法名称不是公共 API 的问题,这就是我所拥有的(作为一个名为的文件test.py):

import argparse
from argparse import RawDescriptionHelpFormatter

# call with: python test.py -h

class SmartDescriptionFormatter(argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter):
  #def _split_lines(self, text, width): # RawTextHelpFormatter, although function name might change depending on Python
  def _fill_text(self, text, width, indent): # RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, although function name might change depending on Python
    #print("splot",text)
    if text.startswith('R|'):
      paragraphs = text[2:].splitlines()
      rebroken = [argparse._textwrap.wrap(tpar, width) for tpar in paragraphs]
      #print(rebroken)
      rebrokenstr = []
      for tlinearr in rebroken:
        if (len(tlinearr) == 0):
          rebrokenstr.append("")
        else:
          for tlinepiece in tlinearr:
            rebrokenstr.append(tlinepiece)
      #print(rebrokenstr)
      return '\n'.join(rebrokenstr) #(argparse._textwrap.wrap(text[2:], width))
    # this is the RawTextHelpFormatter._split_lines
    #return argparse.HelpFormatter._split_lines(self, text, width)
    return argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter._fill_text(self, text, width, indent)

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=SmartDescriptionFormatter, description="""R|Blahbla bla blah blahh/blahbla (bla blah-blabla) a blahblah bl a blaha-blah .blah blah

Blah blah bla blahblah, bla blahblah blah blah bl blblah bl blahb; blah bl blah bl bl a blah, bla blahb bl:

  blah blahblah blah bl blah blahblah""")

options = parser.parse_args()

这是它在 2.7 和 3.4 中的工作方式:

$ python test.py -h
usage: test.py [-h]

Blahbla bla blah blahh/blahbla (bla blah-blabla) a blahblah bl a blaha-blah
.blah blah

Blah blah bla blahblah, bla blahblah blah blah bl blblah bl blahb; blah bl

如果存在默认值,则以下 python 3 格式化程序会附加默认值并保留行长。

from argparse import ArgumentParser, ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter, \ 
                     RawTextHelpFormatter
import textwrap

class CustomArgumentFormatter(ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter, RawTextHelpFormatter):
    """Formats argument help which maintains line length restrictions as well as appends default value if present."""

    def _split_lines(self, text, width):
        text = super()._split_lines(text, width)
        new_text = []

        # loop through all the lines to create the correct wrapping for each line segment.
        for line in text:
            if not line:
                # this would be a new line.
                new_text.append(line)
                continue

            # wrap the line's help segment which preserves new lines but ensures line lengths are
            # honored
            new_text.extend(textwrap.wrap(line, width))

        return new_text

然后使用新的格式化程序创建参数解析器:
