It supports the same conventions as the Unix <code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getopt()</span></code> function (including the special meanings of arguments of the form ‘<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-</span></code>‘ and ‘<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--</span></code>‘). Long options similar to those supported by GNU software may be used as well via an optional third argument.</p> <p>This module provides two functions and an exception:</p> <dl class="function"> <dt id="getopt.getopt"> <code class="descclassname">getopt.</code><code class="descname">getopt</code><span class="sig-paren">(</span><em>args</em>, <em>options</em><span class="optional">[</span>, <em>long_options</em><span class="optional">]</span><span class="sig-paren">)</span><a class="headerlink" href="#getopt.getopt" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt> <dd><p>Parses command line options and parameter list. <em>args</em> is the argument list to be parsed, without the leading reference to the running program. Typically, this means <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sys.argv[1:]</span></code>. <em>options</em> is the string of option letters that the script wants to recognize, with options that require an argument followed by a colon (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">':'</span></code>; i.e., the same format that Unix <code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getopt()</span></code> uses).</p> <div class="admonition note"> <p class="first admonition-title">Note</p> <p class="last">Unlike GNU <code class="xref c c-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">getopt()</span></code>, after a non-option argument, all further arguments are considered also non-options. This is similar to the way non-GNU Unix systems work.</p> </div> <p><em>long_options</em>, if specified, must be a list of strings with the names of the long options which should be supported. The leading <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'--'</span></code> characters should not be included in the option name. Long options which require an argument should be followed by an equal sign (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'='</span></code>). Optional arguments are not supported. To accept only long options, <em>options</em> should be an empty string. Long options on the command line can be recognized so long as they provide a prefix of the option name that matches exactly one of the accepted options. For example, if <em>long_options</em> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">['foo',</span> <span class="pre">'frob']</span></code>, the option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--fo</span></code> will match as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--foo</span></code>, but <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--f</span></code> will not match uniquely, so <a class="reference internal" href="#getopt.GetoptError" title="getopt.GetoptError"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GetoptError</span></code></a> will be raised.</p> <p>The return value consists of two elements: the first is a list of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(option,</span> <span class="pre">value)</span></code> pairs; the second is the list of program arguments left after the option list was stripped (this is a trailing slice of <em>args</em>). Each option-and-value pair returned has the option as its first element, prefixed with a hyphen for short options (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'-x'</span></code>) or two hyphens for long options (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'--long-option'</span></code>), and the option argument as its second element, or an empty string if the option has no argument. The options occur in the list in the same order in which they were found, thus allowing multiple occurrences.
