        argparseui
        ==========
        
        Purpose of argparseui
        ---------------------
        
        argparseui can be used to quickly auto-generate a UI
        from an argparse based command line tool
        
        the UI has widgets that allow to set up the command line options
        
        argparseui depends on PyQt
        
        State of argparseui
        -------------------
        
        argparseui is a scratch-my-own-itch tool
        
        as such it doesn't support all possibilities of argparse
        
        use at your own risk, but feel free to log a bug/request
        
        Basic Parser Usage
        ------------------
        
            import argparse
            import sys
            from PyQt4 import QtGui
            
            # EXPERIMENT USING BASIC PARSER     
            parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
            parser.add_argument("-m", "--make-argument-true", help="optional boolean argument", action="store_true")
            parser.add_argument("-o","--make-other-argument-true", help="optional boolean argument 2", action="store_true",  default=True)
            parser.add_argument("-n","--number", help="an optional number", type=int)
            parser.add_argument("-r","--restricted-number", help="one of a few possible numbers", type=int, choices=[1,2,3],  default=2)
            parser.add_argument("-c", "--counting-argument", help="counting #occurrences", action="count")
            parser.add_argument("-d", "--default-value-argument", help="default value argument", type=float, default="3.14")
            group = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group()
            group.add_argument("-v", "--verbose", action="store_true")
            group.add_argument("-q", "--quiet", action="store_true")
            parser.add_argument("posarg", help="positional argument", type=str)
        
            app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
            a = ArgparseUi(parser)
            a.show()
            app.exec_()
        
            if a.result() == 1: # Ok pressed
                parsed_args = a.parse_args() # ask argparse to parse the options
                print parsed_args            # print the parsed_options
        
            # Do what you like with the arguments...
