代碼文件hacker_argparse.py如下：

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="calculate X to the power of Y", epilog="And
that's how you'd foo a bar")
group = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group()
group.add_argument("-q", "--quiet", action="store_true")
parser.add_argument('-v', '--version', action='version', version='%(prog)s 2.0')
parser.add_argument("x", type=int, help="the base")
parser.add_argument("y", type=int, help="the exponent")
args = parser.parse_args()

# print(args)

answer = args.x ** args.y

if args.quiet:
    print(answer)
elif args.verbose:
    print("{} to the power {} equals {}".format(args.x, args.y, answer))
else:
    print("{}^{} == {}".format(args.x, args.y, answer))

在命令行下執行： python3 hacker_argparse.py

結果如下：

$ python3 hacker_argparse.py -h
usage: hacker_argparse.py [-h] [-q] [-V] [-v] x y

calculate X to the power of Y

positional arguments:
  x the base
  y the exponent

optional arguments:
  -h, --help show this help message and exit
  -q, --quiet
  -V, --version show program's version number and exit
  -v, --verbose increase output verbosity

And that's how you'd foo a bar
