A template I use for my python scripts

argparser-template.py

from argparse import ArgumentParser

__author__ = ""
__date__ = ""
__version__ = ""
__description__ = ""

if __name__ == '__main__':
    argParser = ArgumentParser(description=__description__, 
              epilog='Developed by ' + __author__ + ' in ' + __date__)
    argParser.add_argument('-i', '--input', dest="input", type=str, default='')
    argParser.add_argument('-o', '--output', dest="output", type=str, default='')
    argParser.add_argument('--files', nargs='*', help='Receives array')
    argParser.add_argument('--flag', dest="flag", action='store_true')
    args = argParser.parse_args()
