ArgumentParser.parse_known_args

argparse

method of ArgumentParser (source)
  • ArgumentParser.parse_known_args(args=None, namespace=None)
Sometimes a script only needs to handle a specific set of command-line arguments, leaving any unrecognized arguments for another script or program. In these cases, the parse_known_args() method can be useful.
