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