[Cialug] Python argparse question

[Todd Walton]

>From the ripgrep man page:

   rg [OPTIONS] PATTERN [PATH...]
   rg [OPTIONS] -e PATTERN... [PATH...]

So pattern always comes first, path second, and pattern is either the first
positional argument, or it's made explicit with "-e". How do I do that with
argparse in Python? My script takes a command to run in each subdirectory
of a given directory. So like:

   myscript.py 'git status' ~/gitrepos
   myscript.py 'git status'
   myscript.py -c 'git status' .

 I currently have this:

     parser.add_argument(
         "directory",
         nargs='?',
         default=os.getcwd(),
         help="Root directory to search for git repositories",
     )

     parser.add_argument(
         "-c",
         "--command",
         action="append",
         dest="commands",
         required=True,
         help="Command to run in each repo (can be specified multiple
times)",
     )
