How do I use the argparse module in Python?

The argparse module makes it easy to write user-friendly command-line interfaces. You can define arguments your program requires.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='A simple example')
parser.add_argument('--name', type=str, help='Your name')
args = parser.parse_args()
print(f'Hello, {args.name}!')

What if I want to make an argument required?

You can set the required parameter to True when adding the argument:

parser.add_argument('--name', type=str, required=True, help='Your name')

How can I see all the available options for my script?

You can use the -h or --help option when running your script to see all available options.
