Tools I use: argparse builder

Neat. The way I solved this about a decade ago is to create a base template script for my editor. When I hit Ctrl-N a new main script opens with heading, main(), status code return, CLI parsing, and basic logging set up already.

New argparse params are either uncommented and/or cut and pasted from existing ones. It works pretty well.

That's way cool. What editor do you pull this magic out of?

Geany, but I don't think it is unique functionality. I suppose you could just copy from a read-only template file with any OS or tools.

Now that I look closer, I actually have to use the File menu, it doesn't have a default shortcut assigned.
