This tool helps developers quickly create small command-line programs in Python or C without needing to recall complex argument parsing syntax. You simply provide the desired command-line arguments (like an integer option or a string positional argument), and it outputs the complete, ready-to-use code to handle them. It's ideal for developers who frequently build utility scripts or simple tools.

121 stars. No commits in the last 6 months. Available on PyPI.

Use this if you are a software developer who needs to quickly generate boilerplate code for parsing command-line arguments in Python or C programs.

Not ideal if you are an end-user without programming experience, as this tool generates code rather than being an application itself.
