class rta_to_lstchain_formator.utils.rta_argparse.EnumAction(**kwargs)

Bases: Action

Argparse action for handling Enums

Allows to show help with the enum values as choices, while returning an Enum value once the argument is parsed.

The implementation is copied from this answer on slackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60750535

Examples

>>> class MyEnum(Enum):
>>>     Foo = "foo"
>>>     Bar = "bar"
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
>>> parser.add_argument('--my_enum', type=MyEnum, action=EnumAction)
>>> parser.print_help() # prints --my_enum {foo,bar}
