"""
The Argparse Extension provides argument handling based on
:py:class:`argparse.ArgumentParser`, and is the default argument handler
used by :class:`cement.core.foundation.CementApp`.  In addition, this
extension also provides :class:`ArgparseController` that enables rapid
development via application controllers based on Argparse.

Requirements
------------

 * Python 2.7+, Python 3+
 * Some features of :class:`ArgparseController` are only available in Python
   3 including controller and function/command ``aliases`` (Python 3+) and
   controller default functions/command (Python 3.4+).


Configuration
-------------

This extension does not have any application configuration settings.


Usage
-----

The following is an example application using both the
:class:`ArgparseArgumentHandler` and :class:`ArgparseController`.  Note that
the default ``arg_handler`` is already set to
:class:`ArgparseArgumentHandler`` by :class:`CementApp`.

.. code-block:: python

    from cement.core.foundation import CementApp
    from cement.ext.ext_argparse import ArgparseController, expose


    class BaseController(ArgparseController):
        class Meta:
            label = 'base'
            arguments = [
                (['--base-foo'], dict(help='base foo option')),
            ]

        @expose(hide=True)
        def default(self):
            # Note: Default commands are only available in Python 3.4+
            print('Inside BaseController.default')

            if self.app.pargs.base_foo:
                # do something with self.app.pargs.base_foo
                print('Base Foo > %s' % self.app.pargs.base_foo)

        @expose(
            arguments=[
                (['--command1-opt'],
                 dict(help='option under command1', action='store_true'))
            ],
            aliases=['cmd1'],
            help='command1 is a sub-command under myapp base controller',
        )
        def command1(self):
            print('Inside BaseController.command1')

            if self.app.pargs.command1_opt:
                # do something with self.app.pargs.command1_opt
                pass


    class EmbeddedController(ArgparseController):
        class Meta:
            label = 'embedded_controller'
            stacked_on = 'base'
            stacked_type = 'embedded'

        @expose(help="command2 embedded under base controller")
        def command2(self):
            print('Inside EmbeddedController.command2')


    class NestedController(ArgparseController):
        class Meta:
            label = 'nested_controller'
            stacked_on = 'base'
            stacked_type = 'nested'
            arguments = [
                (['--nested-opt'],
                 dict(help='option under nested-controller')),
            ]

        @expose(help="command3 under nested-controller")
        def command3(self):
            print('Inside NestedController.command3')


    class MyApp(CementApp):
        class Meta:
            label = 'myapp'
            handlers = [
                BaseController,
                EmbeddedController,
                NestedController
            ]


    with MyApp() as app:
        app.run()


The above looks like:

.. code-block:: console

    $ python myapp.py --help
    usage: myapp.py [-h] [--debug] [--quiet] [--base-foo BASE_FOO]
                    {nested-controller,command1,cmd1,default,command2} ...

      --base-foo BASE_FOO   base foo option

    sub-commands:
      {nested-controller,command1,cmd1,default,command2}
        nested-controller   nested-controller controller
        command1 (cmd1)     command1 is a sub-command under base controller
        command2            command2 embedded under base controller


    $ python myapp.py --base-foo bar

        Called on every controller just after arguments are parsed (assuming
        that the parser hasn't thrown an exception).  Provides an alternative
        means of handling passed arguments.  Note that, this function is
        called on every controller, regardless of what namespace and
        sub-command is eventually going to be called.  Therefore, every
        controller can handle their arguments if the user passed them.

        For example:

        .. code-block:: console

            $ myapp --foo bar some-controller --foo2 bar2 some-command


        In the above, the ``base`` controller (or a nested controller) would
        handle ``--foo``, while ``some-controller`` would handle ``foo2``
        before ``some-command`` is executed.

        controllers ``sub-parser``, and is not the root parser ``app.args``
