Python Tip #120 (of 365):

Optimize for CLI user experience, not just developer experience

By default in argparse, the names that end users see for arguments are coupled to the attribute names that you as a Python script maintainer see.

Decouple them when needed.

You can control the argument names that a user sees with metavar:

This uses the attribute args.path but show users FILENAME in help text:

parser.add_argument("path", type=Path, metavar="FILENAME")

“As I said yesterday, and I’ll say it again today, the biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless naysayers and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans,” Hegseth said in his opening statement to the Senate panel.

Look, you feckless dipshit, if the 'biggest adversary' the US paces is people talking, the correct weapon to use against that adversary is words, not billions of dollars of munitions.

Dear My Employer's Personnel Department,

You profess to be concerned about high stress amongst the employees within your demesne. If you are going to book meetings about "Stress Management" one idea to not compound the problem you purport to desire to mitigate is to not book meetings into the calendars of personnel which conflict with already-booked meetings.

XOXO,
Me
