This subclasses python's argparse to automatically add the environmental variables to the list of the args.

The method add_argument adds the env_var option to change the default name of the environmental variable from the uppercase verion of the option string to this value.

The method parse_args adds the prefix and env variable.

The prefix appends this name to the env_var when searching for the name in the environment variables.

The env is a dict whic defaults to the environmental variables which is used to lookup values to append to the args list. If this value is None then no values will be append to the args.

Ensure you have python 3.6 or better.

To create a private virtual environment use the following command: >> python3.6 -m venv --clear ./venv >> ./venv/bin/pip install .
