简短的回答
使用nargs选项或action选项的“append”设置(取决于您希望用户界面如何表现)。
纳尔格斯
parser.add_argument('-l','--list', nargs='+', help='<Required> Set flag', required=True)
# Use like:
# python arg.py -l 1234 2345 3456 4567
Nargs ='+'接受一个或多个参数,Nargs ='*'接受零或多个参数。
附加
parser.add_argument('-l','--list', action='append', help='<Required> Set flag', required=True)
# Use like:
# python arg.py -l 1234 -l 2345 -l 3456 -l 4567
使用append,您可以多次提供该选项来构建列表。
不要使用type=list!!-可能在任何情况下你都不需要在argparse中使用type=list。永远。
长回答
让我们更详细地看看人们可能尝试的一些不同的方法,以及最终的结果。
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
# By default it will fail with multiple arguments.
parser.add_argument('--default')
# Telling the type to be a list will also fail for multiple arguments,
# but give incorrect results for a single argument.
parser.add_argument('--list-type', type=list)
# This will allow you to provide multiple arguments, but you will get
# a list of lists which is not desired.
parser.add_argument('--list-type-nargs', type=list, nargs='+')
# This is the correct way to handle accepting multiple arguments.
# '+' == 1 or more.
# '*' == 0 or more.
# '?' == 0 or 1.
# An int is an explicit number of arguments to accept.
parser.add_argument('--nargs', nargs='+')
# To make the input integers
parser.add_argument('--nargs-int-type', nargs='+', type=int)
# An alternate way to accept multiple inputs, but you must
# provide the flag once per input. Of course, you can use
# type=int here if you want.
parser.add_argument('--append-action', action='append')
# To show the results of the given option to screen.
for _, value in parser.parse_args()._get_kwargs():
if value is not None:
print(value)
以下是你可以期待的输出:

外卖:
Use nargs or action='append'
nargs can be more straightforward from a user perspective, but it can be unintuitive if there are positional arguments because argparse can't tell what should be a positional argument and what belongs to the nargs; if you have positional arguments then action='append' may end up being a better choice.
The above is only true if nargs is given '*', '+', or '?'. If you provide an integer number (such as 4) then there will be no problem mixing options with nargs and positional arguments because argparse will know exactly how many values to expect for the option.
Don't use quotes on the command line1
Don't use type=list, as it will return a list of lists
This happens because under the hood argparse uses the value of type to coerce each individual given argument you your chosen type, not the aggregate of all arguments.
You can use type=int (or whatever) to get a list of ints (or whatever)
他说:我不是说一般情况。我的意思是使用引号将列表传递给argparse不是你想要的。
