A CLI framework based on asyncio

Project description

Latest PyPI version Version status Python 3.5 and 3.6 Latest Travis CI build status Codacy grade Codacy coverage

A CLI framework based on asyncio.

Usage

The simplest usage is to just pass in an async function.

import asynccli


async def mycli():
    print("Hello, world.")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = asynccli.App(mycli)
    app.run()

It can also be instantiated as a class, as long it has a call method.

import asynccli


class DivisionCalculator(asynccli.CLI):
    numerator = asynccli.Integer(help_text='This is the numerator.')
    denominator = asynccli.Integer()

    async def call(self):
        print(self.first_num / self.second_num)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = asynccli.App(DivisionCalculator)
    app.run()

In the DivisionCalculator example above, you would call your script like this:

$ /path/to/script.py 2 3
0.6666666666666666

What if you want to have a tiered CLI with a hierarchy of commands? First, create your command by subclassing CLI as above. Then, wrap the whole thing inside of the TieredCLI class, and pass that to the App.

class Calculator(asynccli.TieredCLI):
    d = DivisionCalculator

Now, to invoke the script, you have an extra argument to call:

$ /path/to/script.py d 2 3
0.6666666666666666

Installation

pip install asynccli

Requirements

Currently it requires Python 3.5 to make use of async/await. It uses argparse under the hood, and therefore has no dependencies outside of the standard library.

Roadmap

  • Additional Argument types

  • Integration of additional argparse features

  • Add uvloop

  • Better support for help documentation

Testing

You can invoke the test scripts a few different ways:

$ py.test
$ python setup.py test
$ python -m py.test

And, in order to generate the test coverage:

$ coverage run -m py.test
