crispy is my take on parsing command-line arguments. It is a dead simple tool that allows you to define your own keys for systematically gathering variables.
In just 5 simple steps, you can start parsing any complicated user input into a dictionary—simple and predictable. It can't get more versatile than that, can it?

TO DO | ... |
- To start using
crispy-parserin your projects, install it from PyPI:
$ pip install crispy-parser- Import the parser into your source code:
from crispy.crispy import Crispy- Add your arguments:
c = Crispy()
c.add_variable("name", str)
c.add_variable("age", int)
c.add_variable("salary", float)- Throw any user-inputted string or argument list at it!
result = c.parse_string("--name John -a=21 --salary=30000.45")
print(result){'name': 'John', 'age': 21, 'salary': 30000.45}
Or parse sys.argv:
arguments = c.parse_arguments(sys.argv[1:])
print(arguments){'message': 'message.txt', 'targets': 'targets.txt', 'url_format': 'api.txt'}
