wmflib.idm.logoutd_args(description: str | None = None, args: List | None = None) → Namespace[source]¶

Logout scripts common CLI for parsing the command line arguments.

When not using the higher level API wmflib.idm.LogoutdBase, a user could just implement their own script still using the same command line arguments processing, of the form:

from wmflib.idm import logoutd_args
args = logoutd_args('Some description')
# write your own script

Parameters:

description (str) – the description to use
args (list) – A list of arguments to use (used for testing)

Returns:

The parsed argparser Namespace

Return type:

argparse.Namespace

class wmflib.idm.LogoutdBase(args: List | None = None)[source]¶

Bases: ABC

abstract Base class for a standardized API for logout scripts.

class MyLogoutd(LogoutdBase):
    """Some description."""

        # logout the given user

    def query_user(self, user):
        # check the login status of a given user

    def list(self):
        # list all active login sessions

logoutd = MyLogoutd()
raise SystemExit(logoutd.run())  # This includes the parsing of command line arguments.
