That sounds what I need.... but:
ubuntu@ip:/home/www-data/web2py$ python scripts/cpdb.py -h Traceback (most recent call last): File "scripts/cpdb.py", line 5, in <module> import argparse ImportError: No module named argparse then I read somewhere this: 1down vote The argparse module was added in Python 2.7. http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html Prior to 2.7, the most common way to handle command-line arguments was probably getopt.http://docs.python.org/library/getopt.html Of course you can always handle the command-line manually simply by looking at sys.argv. Howevergetopt is a good abstraction layer, and argparse is even better. If you truly need argparse in older environments (debatable), there is a Google Code project maintaining it, and you can include that in your project. http://code.google.com/p/argparse/ link <http://stackoverflow.com/a/7476068>|improve this answer<http://stackoverflow.com/posts/7476068/edit> from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7473609/argparse-python-modules-in-cli And I'm like: ubuntu@ip:~$ python Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> wich means it doesn't work because I just don't have it. someone said this: up vote3down vote Well if the only thing you need is argparse (saw that in one of your comments!) you could just do : pip install argparse This is not exactly an answer to the exact question :-) , but indeed if you are only missing a few feature, many 2.7 features actually come from independent projects and/or some compatibility packages can be found, eg: Also from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7473609/argparse-python-modules-in-cli wich made me think that I'm using 2.6 while there's 2.7 and 3.2 out there... should I consider upgrading python to a newer version or just get the missing module?
