Library to ease the creation of CLI applications in Python.
This is especially useful for applications that allow some global options (through the optparse module), a command and some options and arguments to be passed to the command.
Example usage:
from cliapp import CliApp
app = CliApp()
app.parser.add_option('--debug', dest='debug', action='store_true',
default='False', help='Enable debugging')
@app.command(usage="<name>")
def hello(state):
if len(state.arguments) > 0:
print "Hello, {0}!".format(state.arguments[0])
else:
print "Hello, world!"
@app.command
def hello_world(state):
print "Hello, world!"
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()And then use it like this:
$ python myapp.py
A command is required! See --help-commands.
$ python myapp.py --help
Usage: myapp.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--help-commands Print commands usage help.
--debug Enable debugging
$ python myapp.py --help-commands

hello <name>
hello_world [<opts>] [<args>]
$ python myapp.py hello
Hello, world!
$ python myapp.py hello user
Hello, user!
$ python myapp.py hello --help
