## Class ArgParser

- java.lang.Object
- - org.python.core.ArgParser

-     public class ArgParser
      extends java.lang.Object

  A utility class for handling mixed positional and keyword arguments. Typical usage:

         public MatchObject search(PyObject[] args, String[] kws) {
             ArgParser ap = new ArgParser("search", args, kws,
                                          "pattern", "pos", "endpos");
             String string = ap.getString(0);
             int start     = ap.getInt(1, 0);
             int end       = ap.getInt(2, string.length());
             ...
