Configargparse is used in Python projects. A drop-in replacement for argparse that allows options to also be set via config files and/or environment variables. It has no required runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install. Check its dependency graph on PyDeps to understand the full transitive dependency tree, reverse dependents, known CVEs, and license compatibility before installing.

Configargparse has no required runtime dependencies. A dependency-free package keeps installs small and reduces the supply-chain surface area you need to audit.
Beyond its direct dependencies, Configargparse pulls in further packages through its dependency tree. PyDeps walks the entire chain from PyPI and deps.dev so you can see every transitive (nested) dependency, expand any node on demand, and understand the full set of code that ships when you install Configargparse.
Configargparse is distributed under the MIT license. Use the vulnerability panel, powered by the OSV database, to check whether Configargparse or anything in its dependency tree has known CVEs before you ship, and review the license of every dependency to confirm compatibility with your project.
In the interactive graph each node is a package and each edge is a version constraint. Expand a node to load its subdependencies, switch to the dependents view to see which packages rely on Configargparse, and download Configargparse together with all of its dependencies as wheels for offline or air-gapped installs.
