In this case, argparse can help build all you need to handle inputs in the terminal. We'll see how a single file named size.py that calculates file sizes can make use of argparse to handle the input in the terminal. Then, we will cover how error handling is done automatically when the expectations from argparse aren't met. And finally, we'll go through some of the help menu options that construct the body of the help output. Check the resources section for the GitHub repo with sample code Why would you want to use argparse Since argparse is part of the Python standard library, there is no need for you to define or install any external dependencies. You are ensuring that any Python installation in any system will work correctly out of the gate. A very basic Python CLI tool without dependencies using the argparse module Next steps Now that you know how to enhance a Python script into a more powerful one with argparse , you can try out other frameworks like the Click framework or something much simpler by using the sys module. I have examples and guides for the sys.argv module and for using the Click framework .

Abstract: Azure Databricks with Pandas and Open Datasets. Find out how to get a working cluster with Databricks using Azure and then use the full Pandas API operating in the cluster with Open Datasets and a Python Jupyter Notebook. This video will walk you through creating a workspace in Azure to create the Databricks service, then create the cluster that comes with the Pyspark Pandas API, and finally import the open datasets into the cluster. Although straightforward to create a Databricks cluster with Azure, it is a bit more involved to run a Python Jupyter Notebook that has Azure ML Open Datasets installed and availabe in the cluster along with the ability to use the full Pandas API you are used to working with and taking advantage of the clustering capabilities from Databricks.

Abstract: Python Command Line Tools Course This is a full Python CLI course that will take you from the most basic approaches to command line tools in Python to the more advanced featuers that use frameworks like argparse and Click. Everything on this course is available in the course Repository on GitHub, so that you can follow the examples closely and use that as a foundation with all examples and sample files. Building a CLI is the foundation for automation in your daily work By the end of the course you should feel confident in creating a tool, and the following: Create simple CLI tools without any frameworks Learn about arguments, flags, help menus and how to create them automatically Use the argparse framework to build more complex tools Build a CLI with the Click framework Use special features of Click like colored output and argument types Modularizing and project scaffolding in Python Packaging and packaging files in Python How to create tests and run them automatically Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment with Github Actions for Python Packaging a CLI tool with an executable Distributing a CLI tool on PyPI (the Python Package Index) How to automatically test your project on a PR (GitHub pull request) How to automate publishing your tool to PyPI on a release We'll cover 3 different ways to create tools, from the very basic (with sys.argv) to using a framework that comes with Python ( argparse), and finally the more involved, by using an external library like Click. This flexibility is essential because it will let you decide when to use a simple single file with no dependencies to a fully featured framework like Click. Then you will learn about the project layout, modularizing and organizing your code in directories and files while keeping everything useful for a CLI. You will test your code using Pytest and then package your code using Python packaging files and tools. You will continue by automating everything, including the testing and linting using GitHub Actions, and finally publishing your project to the Python Package Index so that it can be installed by anyone in the world.
