## Installation
Install from PyPI with pip or your favorite tool.
```sh
pip install rich-argparse
```
## Usage
Simply pass `formatter_class` to the argument parser
```python
import argparse
from rich_argparse import RichHelpFormatter
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(..., formatter_class=RichHelpFormatter)
...
```
*rich-argparse* defines equivalents to all argparse's [built-in formatters](
https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html#formatter-class):
| `rich_argparse` formatter | equivalent in `argparse` |
|---------------------------|--------------------------|
| `RichHelpFormatter` | `HelpFormatter` |
| `RawDescriptionRichHelpFormatter` | `RawDescriptionHelpFormatter` |
| `RawTextRichHelpFormatter` | `RawTextHelpFormatter` |
| `ArgumentDefaultsRichHelpFormatter` | `ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter` |
| `MetavarTypeRichHelpFormatter` | `MetavarTypeHelpFormatter` |
## Output styles
The default styles used by *rich-argparse* are carefully chosen to work in different light and dark
themes.
### Customize the colors
You can customize the colors of the output by modifying the `styles` dictionary on the formatter
class. You can use any rich style as defined [here](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/latest/style.html).
*rich-argparse* defines and uses the following styles:
```python
{
'argparse.args': 'cyan', # for positional-arguments and --options (e.g "--help")
'argparse.groups': 'dark_orange', # for group names (e.g. "positional arguments")
'argparse.help': 'default', # for argument's help text (e.g. "show this help message and exit")
'argparse.metavar': 'dark_cyan', # for metavariables (e.g. "FILE" in "--file FILE")
'argparse.prog': 'grey50', # for %(prog)s in the usage (e.g. "foo" in "Usage: foo [options]")
'argparse.syntax': 'bold', # for highlights of back-tick quoted text (e.g. "`some text`")
'argparse.text': 'default', # for descriptions, epilog, and --version (e.g. "A program to foo")
'argparse.default': 'italic', # for %(default)s in the help (e.g. "Value" in "(default: Value)")
}
```
For example, to make the description and epilog *italic*, change the `argparse.text` style:
```python
RichHelpFormatter.styles["argparse.text"] = "italic"
```
### Customize the group name format
You can change how the names of the groups (like `'positional arguments'` and `'options'`) are
formatted by setting the `RichHelpFormatter.group_name_formatter` which is set to `str.title` by
default. Any callable that takes the group name as an input and returns a str works:
```python
RichHelpFormatter.group_name_formatter = str.upper # Make group names UPPERCASE
```
### Special text highlighting
You can [highlight patterns](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/highlighting.html) in the
arguments help and the description and epilog using regular expressions. By default,
*rich-argparse* highlights patterns of `--options-with-hyphens` using the `argparse.args` style
and patterns of `` `back tick quoted text` `` using the `argparse.syntax` style. You can control
what patterns are highlighted by modifying the `RichHelpFormatter.highlights` list. To disable all
highlights, you can clear this list using `RichHelpFormatter.highlights.clear()`.
You can also add custom highlight patterns and styles. The following example highlights all
occurrences of `pyproject.toml` in green:
```python
# Add a style called `pyproject` which applies a green style (any rich style works)
RichHelpFormatter.styles["argparse.pyproject"] = "green"
# Add the highlight regex (the regex group name must match an existing style name)
RichHelpFormatter.highlights.append(r"\b(?P<pyproject>pyproject\.toml)\b")
# Pass the formatter class to argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(..., formatter_class=RichHelpFormatter)
...
```
### Colors in the `usage`
The usage **generated by the formatter** is colored using the `argparse.args` and `argparse.metavar`
styles. If you use a custom `usage` message in the parser, it will be treated as "plain text" and
will **not** be colored by default. You can enable colors in user defined usage message through
[console markup](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/markup.html) by setting
`RichHelpFormatter.usage_markup = True`. If you enable this option, make sure to [escape](
https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/markup.html#escaping) any square brackets in the usage text.
### Disable console markup
The text of the descriptions and epilog is interpreted as
[console markup](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/markup.html) by default. If this conflicts
with your usage of square brackets, make sure to [escape](
https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/markup.html#escaping) the square brackets or to disable
markup globally with `RichHelpFormatter.text_markup = False`.
Similarly the help text of arguments is interpreted as markup by default. It can be disabled using
`RichHelpFormatter.help_markup = False`.
### Colors in `--version`
If you use the `"version"` action from argparse, you can use console markup in the `version` string:
```python
parser.add_argument(
"--version", action="version", version="[argparse.prog]%(prog)s[/] version [i]1.0.0[/]"
)
```
Note that the `argparse.text` style is applied to the `version` string similar to the description
and epilog.
### Rich descriptions and epilog
You can use any rich renderable in the descriptions and epilog. This includes all built-in rich
renderables like `Table` and `Markdown` and any custom renderables defined using the
[Console Protocol](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/protocol.html#console-protocol).
```python
import argparse
from rich.markdown import Markdown
from rich_argparse import RichHelpFormatter
description = """
# My program
This is a markdown description of my program.
* It has a list
* And a table
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
| -------- | -------- |
| Value 1 | Value 2 |
"""
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
description=Markdown(description, style="argparse.text"),
formatter_class=RichHelpFormatter,
)
...
```
Certain features are **disabled** for arbitrary renderables other than strings, including:
* Syntax highlighting with `RichHelpFormatter.highlights`
* Styling with the `"argparse.text"` style defined in `RichHelpFormatter.styles`
* Replacement of `%(prog)s` with the program name
## Working with subparsers
Subparsers do not inherit the formatter class from the parent parser by default. You have to pass
the formatter class explicitly:
```python
subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(...)
p1 = subparsers.add_parser(..., formatter_class=parser.formatter_class)
p2 = subparsers.add_parser(..., formatter_class=parser.formatter_class)
```
## Generate help preview
You can generate a preview of the help message for your CLI in SVG, HTML, or TXT formats using the
`HelpPreviewAction` action. This is useful for including the help message in the documentation of
your app. The action uses the
[rich exporting API](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/console.html#exporting) internally.
```python
import argparse
from rich.terminal_theme import DIMMED_MONOKAI
from rich_argparse import HelpPreviewAction, RichHelpFormatter
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(..., formatter_class=RichHelpFormatter)
...
parser.add_argument(
"--generate-help-preview",
action=HelpPreviewAction,
path="help-preview.svg", # (optional) or "help-preview.html" or "help-preview.txt"
export_kwds={"theme": DIMMED_MONOKAI}, # (optional) keywords passed to console.save_... methods
)
```
This action is hidden, it won't show up in the help message or in the parsed arguments namespace.
Use it like this:
```sh
python my_cli.py --generate-help-preview # generates help-preview.svg (default path specified above)
# or
python my_cli.py --generate-help-preview my-help.svg # generates my-help.svg
# or
COLUMNS=120 python my_cli.py --generate-help-preview # force the width of the output to 120 columns
```
## Working with third party formatters
*rich-argparse* can be used with other custom formatters through multiple inheritance. For example,
[django](https://pypi.org/project/django) defines a custom help formatter for its built in commands
as well as extension libraries and user defined commands. To use *rich-argparse* in your django
project, change your `manage.py` file as follows:
```diff
diff --git a/my_project/manage.py b/my_project/manage.py
index 7fb6855..5e5d48a 100755
--- a/my_project/manage.py
+++ b/my_project/manage.py
@@ -1,22 +1,38 @@
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Django's command-line utility for administrative tasks."""
import os
import sys
def main():
"""Run administrative tasks."""
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'my_project.settings')
try:
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
except ImportError as exc:
raise ImportError(
"Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
"available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
"forget to activate a virtual environment?"
) from exc
+
+ from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand, DjangoHelpFormatter
+ from rich_argparse import RichHelpFormatter
+
+ class DjangoRichHelpFormatter(DjangoHelpFormatter, RichHelpFormatter): # django first
+ """A rich-based help formatter for django commands."""
+
+ original_create_parser = BaseCommand.create_parser
+
+ def create_parser(*args, **kwargs):
+ parser = original_create_parser(*args, **kwargs)
+ parser.formatter_class = DjangoRichHelpFormatter # set the formatter_class
+ return parser
+
+ BaseCommand.create_parser = create_parser
+
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
```
Now the output of all `python manage.py <COMMAND> --help` will be colored.
## Optparse support
*rich-argparse* now ships with experimental support for [optparse](
https://docs.python.org/3/library/optparse.html).
Import optparse help formatters from `rich_argparse.optparse`:
```python
import optparse
from rich_argparse.optparse import IndentedRichHelpFormatter # or TitledRichHelpFormatter
parser = optparse.OptionParser(formatter=IndentedRichHelpFormatter())
...
```
You can also generate a more helpful usage message by passing `usage=GENERATE_USAGE` to the
parser. This is similar to the default behavior of `argparse`.
```python
from rich_argparse.optparse import GENERATE_USAGE, IndentedRichHelpFormatter
parser = optparse.OptionParser(usage=GENERATE_USAGE, formatter=IndentedRichHelpFormatter())
```
Similar to `argparse`, you can customize the styles used by the formatter by modifying the
`RichHelpFormatter.styles` dictionary. These are the same styles used by `argparse` but with
the `optparse.` prefix instead:
```python
RichHelpFormatter.styles["optparse.metavar"] = "bold magenta"
```
Syntax highlighting works the same as with `argparse`.
Colors in the `usage` are only supported when using `GENERATE_USAGE`.
## Legacy Windows support
When used on legacy Windows versions like *Windows 7*, colors are disabled unless
[colorama](https://pypi.org/project/colorama/) is used:
```python
import argparse
import colorama
from rich_argparse import RichHelpFormatter
colorama.init()
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(..., formatter_class=RichHelpFormatter)
...
```
