How to parse list of integers

[dineshbvadhia]

With argparse, you can do:

> python example.py --this 123
> python example.py --this 123 456
> python example.py --this 123 456 789

With Fire, how do you parse a list of integers (including a single element list) like argparse?

# example.py
import fire

def main(this: list[int]):
    print(type(this), this)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    fire.Fire(main)

> python example.py --this 123
<class 'int'> 123

> python example.py --this 123 456
ERROR: Could not consume arg: 456

> python example.py --this 123 456 789
ERROR: Could not consume arg: 456

Not quite a list, but values separated by comma seem to (sometimes) be recognized as tuples

$ ./x.py 1,2,3
<class 'tuple'> (1, 2, 3)

$ ./x.py 1,2
<class 'tuple'> (1, 2)

Works on a single value if there's a trailing comma

$ ./x.py 1,
<class 'tuple'> (1,)

Lists work too with python bracket notation

$ ./x.py '[1]'
<class 'list'> [1]

$ ./x.py '[1,2]'
<class 'list'> [1, 2]
