 When writing python type you can extend **cdist.core.pytypes.PythonType** class.
 You need to implement the following methods:
 
+* **get_args_parser**: implementation should return **argparse.ArgumentParser** and if

 * **type_manifest**: implementation should yield **cdist.core.pytypes.<type-name>**
