"""
This module is used to define and parse command line flags.

This module defines a *distributed* flag-definition policy: rather
than an application having to define all flags in or near main(), each
python module defines flags that are useful to it.  When one python
module imports another, it gains access to the other's flags.  (This
is implemented by having all modules share a common, global registry
object containing all the flag information.)

Flags are defined through the use of one of the DEFINE_xxx functions.
The specific function used determines how the flag is parsed, checked,
and optionally type-converted, when it's seen on the command line.


IMPLEMENTATION: DEFINE_* creates a 'Flag' object and registers it with
a 'FlagValues' object (typically the global FlagValues FLAGS, defined
here).  The 'FlagValues' object can scan the command line arguments
and pass flag arguments to the corresponding 'Flag' objects for
value-checking and type conversion.  The converted flag values are
available as members of the 'FlagValues' object.

Code can access the flag through a FlagValues object, for instancee
gflags.FLAGS.myflag.  Typically, the __main__ module passes the
command line arguments to gflags.FLAGS for parsing.

At bottom, this module calls getopt(), so getopt functionality is
supported, including short- and long-style flags, and the use of -- to
terminate flags.

Methods defined by the flag module will throw 'FlagsError' exceptions.
The exception argument will be a human-readable string.


FLAG TYPES:  This is a list of the DEFINE_*'s that you can do.  All
flags take a name, default value, help-string, and optional 'short'
name (one-letter name).  Some flags have other arguments, which are
described with the flag.

DEFINE_string: takes any input, and interprets it as a string.

DEFINE_boolean: typically does not take an argument: say --myflag to
                set FLAGS.myflag to true, or --nomyflag to set
                FLAGS.myflag to false.  Alternately, you can say
                   --myflag=true  or --myflag=t or --myflag=1  or
                   --myflag=false or --myflag=f or --myflag=0

DEFINE_float: takes an input and interprets it as a floating point
              number.  Takes optional args lower_bound and
              upper_bound; if the number specified on the command line
              is out of range, it will raise a FlagError.

DEFINE_integer: takes an input and interprets it as an integer.  Takes
                optional args lower_bound and upper_bound as for floats.

DEFINE_enum: takes a list of strings which represents legal values.  If
             the command-line value is not in this list, raise a flag
             error.  Otherwise, assign to FLAGS.flag as a string.

DEFINE_list: Takes a comma-separated list of strings on the commandline.
             Stores them in a python list object.

DEFINE_spaceseplist: Takes a space-separated list of strings on the
                     commandline.  Stores them in a python list object.

DEFINE_multistring: The same as DEFINE_string, except the flag can be
                    specified more than once on the commandline.  The
                    result is a python list object (list of strings),
                    even if the flag is only on the command line once.

DEFINE_multi_int: The same as DEFINE_integer, except the flag can be
                  specified more than once on the commandline.  The
                  result is a python list object (list of ints),
                  even if the flag is only on the command line once.


SPECIAL FLAGS: There are a few flags that have special meaning:
   --help (or -?)  prints a list of all the flags in a human-readable fashion
   --helpshort     prints a list of all the flags in the 'main' .py file only
   --flagfile=foo  read flags from foo.
   --              as in getopt(), terminates flag-processing

Note on --flagfile:

Flags may be loaded from text files in addition to being specified on
the commandline.

Any flags you don't feel like typing, throw them in a file, one flag
per line, for instance:
   --myflag=myvalue
   --nomyboolean_flag
You then specify your file with the special flag
'--flagfile=somefile'.  You CAN recursively nest flagfile= tokens OR
use multiple files on the command line.  Lines beginning with a single
hash '#' or a double slash '//' are comments in your flagfile.

Any flagfile=<file> will be interpreted as having a relative path from
the current working directory rather than from the place the file was
included from:
   myPythonScript.py --flagfile=config/somefile.cfg

If somefile.cfg includes further --flagfile= directives, these will be
referenced relative to the original CWD, not from the directory the
including flagfile was found in!

The caveat applies to people who are including a series of nested
files in a different dir than they are executing out of.  Relative
path names are always from CWD, not from the directory of the parent
include flagfile. We do now support '~' expanded directory names.

Absolute path names ALWAYS work!


EXAMPLE USAGE:

  import gflags
  FLAGS = gflags.FLAGS

  # Flag names are globally defined!  So in general, we need to be
  # careful to pick names that are unlikely to be used by other libraries.
  # If there is a conflict, we'll get an error at import time.
  gflags.DEFINE_string("name", "Mr. President" "NAME: your name")
  gflags.DEFINE_integer("age", None, "AGE: your age in years", lower_bound=0)
  gflags.DEFINE_boolean("debug", 0, "produces debugging output")
  gflags.DEFINE_enum("gender", "male", ["male", "female"],
                     "GENDER: your gender")

  def main(argv):

class FlagValues:
  """
  Used as a registry for 'Flag' objects.

  A 'FlagValues' can then scan command line arguments, passing flag
  arguments through to the 'Flag' objects that it owns.  It also
  provides easy access to the flag values.  Typically only one
  'FlagValues' object is needed by an application:  gflags.FLAGS

  This class is heavily overloaded:

  'Flag' objects are registered via __setitem__:
       FLAGS['longname'] = x   # register a new flag

  The .value member of the registered 'Flag' objects can be accessed as
  members of this 'FlagValues' object, through __getattr__.  Both the
  long and short name of the original 'Flag' objects can be used to
  access its value:
       FLAGS.longname          # parsed flag value
       FLAGS.x                 # parsed flag value (short name)

  Command line arguments are scanned and passed to the registered 'Flag'
  objects through the __call__ method.  Unparsed arguments, including
  argv[0] (e.g. the program name) are returned.
       argv = FLAGS(sys.argv)  # scan command line arguments

  The original registered Flag objects can be retrieved through the use
  of the dictionary-like operator, __getitem__:

  The str() operator of a 'FlagValues' object provides help for all of
