Changes

0.5.2

• Added support for extra information in command-specific help, not shown on the command index page

• Added a bag argument and default alias look up on self so that commands behave a bit like Marbles

• Added instance, raw_args and raw_opts to the cmd object passed to run() and deprecated the use of on_initial_convert()

• Moved the bag argument out of run() and instead it gets passed as a service by PipeStack if needed. Can be accessed as cmd.service in your run() function.

• Changed the command structure to be that of a list of tuples, rather than a dictionary; nesting now happens by placing a list of tuples as a value

2011-04-04

• Added a new run() method allowing you to use a cmd object for chaining sub commands
