ArgumentParser can allow us to run python script by command line. Here is the tutorial:
Python ArgumentParser: Create and Parse Command Line Arguments – Python Tutorial
However, we may find action=”store_true” in add_argument(). In this tutorial, we will introduce what it mean and how to use it.
For example:
import argparse
# Command Line Arguments
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='main program')
parser.add_argument('--base_model', type=str,
help='Path to or name of base model')
parser.add_argument('--model_type', type=str, default="llama",
help='The model type, support: llama, chatglm')
parser.add_argument('--inference', action="store_true",
help='The inference mode (just for test)')
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args.inference)If we run this python code as follows:
python test5-33.py
Because we have not set default value for –inference, we will see:
False
If we run this code by this:
python test5-33.py --inference
We will see:
True
However, if we set a default value for –inference
parser.add_argument('--inference', action="store_true", default=True,
help='The inference mode (just for test)')
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args.inference)
Run this code by python test5-33.py, we will see:
True
