__init__(self, args=None, usage=None, version=None, description=None, interspersed=False)
(Constructor)

source code 
Parameters:
  • usage - usage string. If missing a default is used
  • version - if missing the PyFoam-version is used
  • description - description of the utility
  • interspersed - needs to be false if options should be passed to an OpenFOAM-utility
  • args - Command line arguments. If unset sys.argv[1:] is used. Can be a string: it will be splitted then unsing the spaces (very primitive), or a list of strings (prefered)
Overrides: optparse.OptionContainer.__init__

parse(self, nr=None, exactNr=True)

source code

Parameters:
  • nr - minimum number of arguments that are to be passed to the application 3 is default for pre-1.5 versions of OpenFOAM
