"""This module provides argparse integration with absl.flags.

argparse_flags.ArgumentParser is a drop-in replacement for
argparse.ArgumentParser. It takes care of collecting and defining absl flags
in argparse.

Here is a simple example:

# Assume the following absl.flags is defined in another module:
    #
    #     from absl import flags
    #     flags.DEFINE_string('echo', None, 'The echo message.')
    #
    parser = argparse_flags.ArgumentParser(
        description='A demo of absl.flags and argparse integration.')
    parser.add_argument('--header', help='Header message to print.')

# The parser will also accept the absl flag `--echo`.
    # The `header` value is available as `args.header` just like a regular
    # argparse flag. The absl flag `--echo` continues to be available via
    # `absl.flags.FLAGS` if you want to access it.
    args = parser.parse_args()

# Example usages:
    # ./program --echo='A message.' --header='A header'
    # ./program --header 'A header' --echo 'A message.'

Here is another example demonstrates subparsers:

parser = argparse_flags.ArgumentParser(description='A subcommands demo.')
    parser.add_argument('--header', help='The header message to print.')

subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(help='The command to execute.')

roll_dice_parser = subparsers.add_parser(
        'roll_dice', help='Roll a dice.',
        # By default, absl flags can also be specified after the sub-command.
        # To only allow them before sub-command, pass
        # `inherited_absl_flags=None`.
        inherited_absl_flags=None)
    roll_dice_parser.add_argument('--num_faces', type=int, default=6)
    roll_dice_parser.set_defaults(command=roll_dice)

shuffle_parser = subparsers.add_parser('shuffle', help='Shuffle inputs.')
    shuffle_parser.add_argument(
        'inputs', metavar='I', nargs='+', help='Inputs to shuffle.')
    shuffle_parser.set_defaults(command=shuffle)

args = parser.parse_args(argv[1:])
    args.command(args)

# Example usages:
    # ./program --echo='A message.' roll_dice --num_faces=6
    # ./program shuffle --echo='A message.' 1 2 3 4

There are several differences between absl.flags and argparse_flags:

1. Flags defined with absl.flags are parsed differently when using the
   argparse parser. Notably:

1) absl.flags allows both single-dash and double-dash for any flag, and
      doesn't distinguish them; argparse_flags only allows double-dash for
      flag's regular name, and single-dash for flag's `short_name`.
   2) Boolean flags in absl.flags can be specified with `--bool`, `--nobool`,
      as well as `--bool=true/false` (though not recommended);
      in argparse_flags, it only allows `--bool`, `--nobool`.

2. Help related flag differences:
   1) absl.flags does not define help flags, absl.app does that; argparse_flags
      defines help flags unless passed with `add_help=False`.
   2) absl.app supports `--helpxml`; argparse_flags does not.
   3) argparse_flags supports `-h`; absl.app does not.
