Adding Commandline Arguments ============================ If you would like to add additional command-line options, access helper's `argparse based parser `_ adding additional command line arguments as needed. The arguments will be accessible via the `Controller.args` attribute. Example:: from helper import parser p = parser.get() p.add_argument('-n', '--newrelic', action='store', dest='newrelic', help='Path to newrelic.init for enabling NewRelic ' 'instrumentation') p.add_argument('-p', '--path', action='store_true', dest='path', help='Path to prepend to the Python system path') You can also override the auto-assigned application name:: from helper import parser parser.name('my-app') And the default description:: from helper import parser parser.description('My application rocks!')
