-"""Command-line parsing library
-
-This module is an optparse-inspired command-line parsing library that:
-
-    - handles both optional and positional arguments
-    - produces highly informative usage messages
-    - supports parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
-
-The following is a simple usage example that sums integers from the
-command-line and writes the result to a file::
-
-    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
-        description='sum the integers at the command line')
-    parser.add_argument(
-        'integers', metavar='int', nargs='+', type=int,
-        help='an integer to be summed')
-    parser.add_argument(
-        '--log', default=sys.stdout, type=argparse.FileType('w'),
-        help='the file where the sum should be written')
-    args = parser.parse_args()
-    args.log.write('%s' % sum(args.integers))
-    args.log.close()
-
-The module contains the following public classes:
-
-    - ArgumentParser -- The main entry point for command-line parsing. As the
-        example above shows, the add_argument() method is used to populate
-        the parser with actions for optional and positional arguments. Then
-        the parse_args() method is invoked to convert the args at the
-        command-line into an object with attributes.
-
-    - ArgumentError -- The exception raised by ArgumentParser objects when
-        there are errors with the parser's actions. Errors raised while
-        parsing the command-line are caught by ArgumentParser and emitted
-        as command-line messages.
-
-    - FileType -- A factory for defining types of files to be created. As the
-        example above shows, instances of FileType are typically passed as
-        the type= argument of add_argument() calls.
-
-    - Action -- The base class for parser actions. Typically actions are
-        selected by passing strings like 'store_true' or 'append_const' to
-        the action= argument of add_argument(). However, for greater
-        customization of ArgumentParser actions, subclasses of Action may
-        be defined and passed as the action= argument.
-
-    - HelpFormatter, RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, RawTextHelpFormatter,
-        ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter -- Formatter classes which
-        may be passed as the formatter_class= argument to the
-        ArgumentParser constructor. HelpFormatter is the default,
-        RawDescriptionHelpFormatter and RawTextHelpFormatter tell the parser
-        not to change the formatting for help text, and
-        ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter adds information about argument defaults
-        to the help.
-
-All other classes in this module are considered implementation details.
-(Also note that HelpFormatter and RawDescriptionHelpFormatter are only
-considered public as object names -- the API of the formatter objects is
-still considered an implementation detail.)

-

-
-        - option_strings -- A list of command-line option strings which

-
-        - dest -- The name of the attribute to hold the created object(s)
-
-        - nargs -- The number of command-line arguments that should be
-            consumed. By default, one argument will be consumed and a single
-            value will be produced.  Other values include:
-                - N (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
-                - '?' consumes zero or one arguments
-                - '*' consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
-                - '+' consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
-            Note that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that
-            with the default, a single value will be produced, while with
-            nargs=1, a list containing a single value will be produced.
-
-        - const -- The value to be produced if the option is specified and the
-            option uses an action that takes no values.
-
-        - default -- The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
-
-        - type -- The type which the command-line arguments should be converted
-            to, should be one of 'string', 'int', 'float', 'complex' or a
-            callable object that accepts a single string argument. If None,
-            'string' is assumed.
-
-        - choices -- A container of values that should be allowed. If not None,
-            after a command-line argument has been converted to the appropriate
-            type, an exception will be raised if it is not a member of this
-            collection.
-
-        - required -- True if the action must always be specified at the
-            command line. This is only meaningful for optional command-line
-            arguments.
-
-        - help -- The help string describing the argument.

+"""Command-line parsing library
+
+This module is an optparse-inspired command-line parsing library that:
+
+    - handles both optional and positional arguments
+    - produces highly informative usage messages
+    - supports parsers that dispatch to sub-parsers
+
+The following is a simple usage example that sums integers from the
+command-line and writes the result to a file::
+
+    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
+        description='sum the integers at the command line')
+    parser.add_argument(
+        'integers', metavar='int', nargs='+', type=int,
+        help='an integer to be summed')
+    parser.add_argument(
+        '--log', default=sys.stdout, type=argparse.FileType('w'),
+        help='the file where the sum should be written')
+    args = parser.parse_args()
+    args.log.write('%s' % sum(args.integers))
+    args.log.close()
+
+The module contains the following public classes:
+
+    - ArgumentParser -- The main entry point for command-line parsing. As the
+        example above shows, the add_argument() method is used to populate
+        the parser with actions for optional and positional arguments. Then
+        the parse_args() method is invoked to convert the args at the
+        command-line into an object with attributes.
+
+    - ArgumentError -- The exception raised by ArgumentParser objects when
+        there are errors with the parser's actions. Errors raised while
+        parsing the command-line are caught by ArgumentParser and emitted
+        as command-line messages.
+
+    - FileType -- A factory for defining types of files to be created. As the
+        example above shows, instances of FileType are typically passed as
+        the type= argument of add_argument() calls.
+
+    - Action -- The base class for parser actions. Typically actions are
+        selected by passing strings like 'store_true' or 'append_const' to
+        the action= argument of add_argument(). However, for greater
+        customization of ArgumentParser actions, subclasses of Action may
+        be defined and passed as the action= argument.
+
+    - HelpFormatter, RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, RawTextHelpFormatter,
+        ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter -- Formatter classes which
+        may be passed as the formatter_class= argument to the
+        ArgumentParser constructor. HelpFormatter is the default,
+        RawDescriptionHelpFormatter and RawTextHelpFormatter tell the parser
+        not to change the formatting for help text, and
+        ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter adds information about argument defaults
+        to the help.
+
+All other classes in this module are considered implementation details.
+(Also note that HelpFormatter and RawDescriptionHelpFormatter are only
+considered public as object names -- the API of the formatter objects is
+still considered an implementation detail.)

+    command line. The keyword arguments to the Action constructor are also
+    all attributes of Action instances.
+
+    Keyword Arguments:
+
+        - option_strings -- A list of command-line option strings which
+            should be associated with this action.
+
+        - dest -- The name of the attribute to hold the created object(s)
+
+        - nargs -- The number of command-line arguments that should be
+            consumed. By default, one argument will be consumed and a single
+            value will be produced.  Other values include:
+                - N (an integer) consumes N arguments (and produces a list)
+                - '?' consumes zero or one arguments
+                - '*' consumes zero or more arguments (and produces a list)
+                - '+' consumes one or more arguments (and produces a list)
+            Note that the difference between the default and nargs=1 is that
+            with the default, a single value will be produced, while with
+            nargs=1, a list containing a single value will be produced.
+
+        - const -- The value to be produced if the option is specified and the
+            option uses an action that takes no values.
+
+        - default -- The value to be produced if the option is not specified.
+
+        - type -- The type which the command-line arguments should be converted
+            to, should be one of 'string', 'int', 'float', 'complex' or a
+            callable object that accepts a single string argument. If None,
+            'string' is assumed.
+
+        - choices -- A container of values that should be allowed. If not None,
+            after a command-line argument has been converted to the appropriate
+            type, an exception will be raised if it is not a member of this
+            collection.
+
+        - required -- True if the action must always be specified at the
+            command line. This is only meaningful for optional command-line
+            arguments.
+
+        - help -- The help string describing the argument.
+
+        - metavar -- The name to be used for the option's argument with the
+            help string. If None, the 'dest' value will be used as the name.
