# Paperbush 🌿
Paperbush is a super concise argument parsing tool that simplifies the process of creating command-line argument parsers in Python. With Paperbush, you can define your parser in just a single line of code using a custom built-in language, which is then translated directly into the built-in `argparse` module equivalent. This means that in most cases, moving to Paperbush is just a matter of changing the parser definition, as `Paperbush.parse_args()` returns an `argparse.Namespace` object.
## Installation
Paperbush is available on PyPI and can be installed with `pip`, or any other Python package manager:
```sh
$ pip install paperbush
```
(Some systems may require you to use `pip3`, `python -m pip`, or `py -m pip`)
