Command-line generator from a dictionary.
Project description
This module is a wrapper to argparse module. Its goal is to generate a custom and advanced command-line from a formatted dictionary. As python dictionnaries are easily exportable to configuration files (like YAML or JSON), the idea is to outsource the command-line definition to a file instead of writing dozens or hundreds lines of code.
Code is available on Github (http://github.com/fmenabe/python-clg).
Documentation is available on readthedocs (https://clg.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
