ArgumentParser.set_defaults

argparse

method of ArgumentParser (source)
  • ArgumentParser.set_defaults(**kwargs)
Most of the time, the attributes of the object returned by parse_args() will be fully determined by inspecting the command-line arguments and the argument actions. set_defaults() allows some additional attributes that are determined without any inspection of the command line to be added:
