I find myself writing a lot of (reusable) one-of scripts, so it would be really nice to have all the "standard" options from the command line tool. Most of the time I useGitlab.from_config(), but that requires users of my script to create a config file to use them. What I would like is something likeGitLab.from_environment() or something, which would create a default argument parser so I could use all options of thegitlab tool for my own tools. Maybe even provide something like

parser=argparse.ArgumentParser(description="My GitLab API Tool",allow_abbrev=False)GitLab.add_arguments(parser)args=parser.parse_args()GitLab.from_environment(args=args)

which would allow to integrate all the "config" options from the command line tool into other tools.

How about it? (I might have some time to contribute the change to facilitate this, probably requires a bit of refactoring...)

(This seems a bit similar to#2830)
