docopt with arbitrary optional non-positional arguments










0















How to use docopt to allow passing arbitrary optional non-positional arguments?



I have the following specs:



Usage:
app <command> [<args> ...] [--db_uri=<DB_URI>] [--option1] [--option2]


This gives me an option to specify different commands with optional positional arguments.



I want to add an ability to specify arbitrary optional arguments like in the following example:



app my_command first_arg --second_arg=58


I don't want to specify each an every non-positional argument in help as they are dependent on the specified (like in "docker" style help).



The idea is to call python functions (commands) automatically via CLI and specify optional function arguments explicitly.
