cement 2.0.2

CLI Application Framework for Python

Cement is an advanced CLI Application Framework for Python. Its goal is to introduce a standard, and feature-full platform for both simple and complex command line applications as well as support rapid development needs without sacrificing quality.

Core features include (but are not limited to):

• Core pieces of the framework are customizable via handlers/interfaces

• Extension handler interface to easily extend framework functionality

• Config handler supports parsing multiple config files into one config

• Argument handler parses command line arguments and merges with config

• Log handler supports console and file logging

• Plugin handler provides an interface to easily extend your application

• Hook support adds a bit of magic to apps and also ties into framework

• Handler system connects implementation classes with Interfaces

• Output handler interface renders return dictionaries to console

• Cache handler interface adds caching support for improved performance

• Controller handler supports sub-commands, and nested controllers

• Zero external dependencies* (ext’s with dependencies ship separately)

• 100% test coverage

• Extensive Sphinx documentation

• Tested on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2

Note that argparse is required as an external dependency for Python < 2.7 and < 3.2.
