clg 0.3

Command-line generator from a dictionary.

This module is a wrapper to argparse module. Its goal is to generate a custom and advanced command-line from a formatted dictionary. The sequence of subparsers is not limited but it is not possible to have a (sub)parser that have both subparsers and options. The idea is really to not write dozens or hundreds of lines of code to generate the command-line but to outsource it to a file in a “classic” format (YAML, JSON, …).

Code is available on Github (http://github.com/fmenabe/python-clg). Documentation is available on readthedocs (https://clg.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
