Abseil is a common library of utilities for C++ and Python that contains useful code from Google's internal code base that has been open-sourced.

The Python library, abseil-py, can be installed like this:

$ pip install abseil-py

This contains some useful argument-parsing functionality. It's not documented, though. :(
