Template for main.py If you use vim, you can use https://github.com/aperezdc/vim-template or https://github.com/mattn/zencoding-vim to create it whenever you need a main script in python.

main.py

import sys
import logging
import argparse

def main(args):
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)
    parser.add_argument('-v', '--verbose', action='store_true')
    parser.add_argument('-q', '--quiet', action='store_true')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    if args.verbose:
        loglevel = logging.DEBUG
    elif args.quiet:
        loglevel = logging.WARNING
    else:
        loglevel = logging.INFO
    logging.basicConfig(level=loglevel)
    sys.exit(main(args))
