🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every. single. one. no skipping, we don't gatekeep here 💅

  • --version — shows the program's version number and dips. ✌️
  • -h/--help — shows this help message and dips. 🫡
  • --manpage — outputs a whole manpage built from the help. iconic, honestly.
  • --progress — shows progress as: dots, none, bar, names, verbose. pick your vibe check. ✨
  • --errorlevel — shows errorlevel as: none, message, exception, traceback. so you know exactly how loudly it's gonna scream. 😭
  • -i/--input — reads from INPUT in py format. 📥
  • -x/--exclude — excludes names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths. not on my watch, bestie. 🙈
  • -o/--output — writes to OUTPUT in po, pot formats. 📤
  • -S/--timestamp — skips the conversion if the output file already has a newer timestamp. it knows when it's not needed, lowkey self-aware. 🧚
  • -P/--pot — outputs PO Templates (.pot) rather than PO files (.po). template era 💜
  • --duplicates — what to do with duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt'). yep, msgctxt is the default, that's canon.
heads up bestie: --duplicates is literally about identical source text, so if you've got repeat strings in there, this is the setting that decides their fate — merge or msgctxt. the default is 'msgctxt', periodt. 💖

and that's the whole page, angel 🌈 go forth and convert responsibly, and remember: every single flag above stays exactly as written, because accuracy is the actual slay. 💅
