asyoulikeit 0.2.5

Multi-format report output for Python command-line tools.

asyoulikeit

--as tsv | json | display → as you like it

Gentle reader, this library doth furnish thy terminal tools with reports most manifold: to the device made glorious by this Son of Jay, to the pipe in honest tabulations, and to thine own eye in fair display — every format, verily, as thou likest it.

Prologue

Take thou a handler that returneth Reports, and with @tabulated_output do thou dress it thus:

"""List the six wives of Henry VIII as a Report.

Run this file directly to see the default display format:

    python scripts/examples/quickstart.py

Or force a specific format:

    python scripts/examples/quickstart.py --as tsv
    python scripts/examples/quickstart.py --as json
"""

Thus decorated are options imparted unto thy command: --as (which format thou shalt have), --report (which reports shall be shown), --header / --no-header (shall columns have their heads?), and --detailed / --essential (how copious thy detail?). When --as is withheld, judgement is passed wisely: to a terminal is given display; to a pipe, tsv.
