Use the Python ``argparse`` module to make the bind address and port configurable on the controller, and the server address, port and message configurable on the client.
Use the Python ``argparse`` module to make the bind address(es) and port configurable on the controller, and the server address, port and message configurable on the client.
We suggest naming the controller parameters ``--bind`` and ``--port`` so that those parameters stay consistent across controller, and use ``-s/--server`` and ``--port`` on the client. The ``artiq.tools.simple_network_args`` library function adds such arguments for the controller.
We suggest naming the controller parameters ``--bind`` (which adds a bind address in addition to a default binding to localhost), ``--no-bind-localhost`` (which disables the default binding to localhost), and ``--port``, so that those parameters stay consistent across controllers. Use ``-s/--server`` and ``--port`` on the client. The ``artiq.tools.simple_network_args`` library function adds such arguments for the controller, and the ``artiq.tools.bind_address_from_args`` function processes them.

We suggest that you define a function ``get_argparser`` that returns the argument parser, so that it can be used to document the command line parameters using sphinx-argparse.
