                               DictAction

Argparse action class that uses values of the form key=val (see parseKeyval for more details) to fill a dictionary. (Similar to the "append" action, but for dicts.)

init(self, option_strings, dest, default=None, *a, **k)
(Constructor)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__: (inherited documentation)

call(self, parser, namespace, value, option_string=None)
(Call operator)

Overrides: argparse.Action.__call__

parseKeyval(self, string)

Return a (key, val) tuple given a string. The string must start with the key, which is made of word characters (alphanumeric or underscore). Any non-word character optionally followed by whitespace acts as a separator, and everything else is the value. If the value is delimited by brackets or braces, it is parsed as JSON. If there is no delimiter, the value is interpreted as "yes".
