当调用add_subparsers方法时，将第一个位置参数保存为dest=，并在argparse初始化后检查值，如下所示:

介子

检查一下这个变量:

if not args.command:
    parser.print_help()
    parser.exit(1)  # If exit() - exit code will be zero (no error)

完整的例子:

#!/usr/bin/env python

""" doc """

import argparse
import sys

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=__doc__)
subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(dest='command',
                                   help='List of commands')

list_parser = subparsers.add_parser('list',
                                    help='List contents')
list_parser.add_argument('dir', action='store',
                         help='Directory to list')

create_parser = subparsers.add_parser('create',
                                      help='Create a directory')
create_parser.add_argument('dirname', action='store',
                           help='New directory to create')
create_parser.add_argument('--read-only', default=False, action='store_true',
                           help='Set permissions to prevent writing to the directory')

args = parser.parse_args()

if not args.command:
    parser.print_help()
    parser.exit(1)

print(vars(args))  # For debug

把我的版本扔到这里:

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
args = parser.parse_args()
if not vars(args):
    parser.print_help()
    parser.exit(1)

您可能会注意到解析器。exit -我这样做主要是因为它保存了一个导入行，如果这是文件中sys的唯一原因…

这里有另一种方法来做，如果你需要一些灵活的东西，你想显示帮助，如果特定的参数被传递，没有或超过1个冲突的参数:

import argparse
import sys

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('-d', '--days', required=False,  help="Check mapped inventory that is x days old", default=None)
    parser.add_argument('-e', '--event', required=False, action="store", dest="event_id",
                        help="Check mapped inventory for a specific event", default=None)
    parser.add_argument('-b', '--broker', required=False, action="store", dest="broker_id",
                        help="Check mapped inventory for a broker", default=None)
    parser.add_argument('-k', '--keyword', required=False, action="store", dest="event_keyword",
                        help="Check mapped inventory for a specific event keyword", default=None)
    parser.add_argument('-p', '--product', required=False, action="store", dest="product_id",
                        help="Check mapped inventory for a specific product", default=None)
    parser.add_argument('-m', '--metadata', required=False, action="store", dest="metadata",
                        help="Check mapped inventory for specific metadata, good for debugging past tix", default=None)
    parser.add_argument('-u', '--update', required=False, action="store_true", dest="make_updates",
                        help="Update the event for a product if there is a difference, default No", default=False)
    args = parser.parse_args()

    days = args.days
    event_id = args.event_id
    broker_id = args.broker_id
    event_keyword = args.event_keyword
    product_id = args.product_id
    metadata = args.metadata
    make_updates = args.make_updates

    no_change_counter = 0
    change_counter = 0

    req_arg = bool(days) + bool(event_id) + bool(broker_id) + bool(product_id) + bool(event_keyword) + bool(metadata)
    if not req_arg:
        print("Need to specify days, broker id, event id, event keyword or past tickets full metadata")
        parser.print_help()
        sys.exit()
    elif req_arg != 1:
        print("More than one option specified. Need to specify only one required option")
        parser.print_help()
        sys.exit()

    # Processing logic here ...

干杯!

这里的大多数答案都需要导入另一个模块，比如sys，或者使用可选参数。我想找到一个只使用argparse的答案，使用所需的参数，如果可能的话，不捕获异常。最后我得到了以下结论:

import argparse

if __name__ == '__main__':

    arg_parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(add_help=False)
    arg_parser.add_argument('input_file', type=str, help='The path to the input file.')
    arg_parser.add_argument('output_file', type=str, help='The path to the output file.')
    arg_parser.add_argument('-h','--help', action='store_true', help='show this help message and exit')
    arg_parser.usage = arg_parser.format_help()
    args = arg_parser.parse_args()

The main idea was to use the format_help function in order to provide the help string to the usage statement. Setting add_help to False in the call to ArgumentParser() prevents the help statement from printing twice in certain circumstances. However, I had to create an argument for the optional help argument that mimicked the typical help message once it was set to False in order to display the optional help argument in the help message. The action is set to store_true in the help argument to prevent the help message from filling in a value like HELP for the parameter when it prints the help message.

用nargs设置位置参数，检查位置参数是否为空。

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('file', nargs='?')
args = parser.parse_args()
if not args.file:
    parser.print_help()

参考Python nargs

对于argparse，你可以使用ArgumentParser.print_usage():

parser.argparse.ArgumentParser()
# parser.add_args here

# sys.argv includes a list of elements starting with the program
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    parser.print_usage()
    sys.exit(1)
