Just set action=NotImplementedAction when calling add_argument, like this: | |
import argparse | |
from notimplemented import NotImplementedAction | |
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() | |
parser.add_argument("--missing", | |
help="This will do something in the future", | |
action=NotImplementedAction) | |
""" | |
class NotImplementedAction(argparse.Action): | |
def __call__(self, parser, namespace, values, option_string=None): | |
msg = 'Argument "{}" still not implemented.'.format(option_string) | |
sys.exit(msg) | |
