"""
Simple ways to interact with the commandline without defining a full blown
CLI.These are usually used for developer hacks. Any real interface should
probably be defined using `argparse` or `click`. Be sure to ignore unknown
arguments if you use them in conjuction with these functions.
The `argflag` function checks if a boolean `--flag` style CLI argument exists
on the command line.
The `argval` function returns the value of a `--key=value` style CLI argument.

"""
Get the value of a keyword argument specified on the command line.
Values can be specified as ``<key> <value>`` or ``<key>=<value>``
Args:
key (str | tuple):
string or tuple of strings. Each key should be prefixed with two
hyphens (i.e. ``--``)
default (object, default=NoParam):
a value to return if not specified.
argv (Optional[list]): overrides ``sys.argv`` if specified
Returns:
str: value : the value specified after the key. It they key is
specified multiple times, then the first value is returned.
TODO:
- [ ] Can we handle the case where the value is a list of long paths?
- [ ] Should we default the first or last specified instance of the flag.
Example:
>>> import ubelt as ub
>>> argv = ['--ans', '42', '--quest=the grail', '--ans=6', '--bad']
>>> assert ub.argval('--spam', argv=argv) == ub.NoParam
>>> assert ub.argval('--quest', argv=argv) == 'the grail'
>>> assert ub.argval('--ans', argv=argv) == '42'
>>> assert ub.argval('--bad', argv=argv) == ub.NoParam
>>> assert ub.argval(('--bad', '--bar'), argv=argv) == ub.NoParam
Example:
>>> # Test fix for GH Issue #41
>>> import ubelt as ub
>>> argv = ['--path=/path/with/k=3']
>>> ub.argval('--path', argv=argv) == '/path/with/k=3'
