Arguments that are dependent on other arguments with Argparse

You can use subparsers in argparse

 import argparse
 parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='PROG')
 parser.add_argument('--foo', required=True, help='foo help')
 subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(help='sub-command help')

 # create the parser for the "bar" command
 parser_a = subparsers.add_parser('bar', help='a help')
 parser_a.add_argument('bar', type=int, help='bar help')
 print(parser.parse_args())
