CLI Command Parser

Command Parser is a class-based CLI argument parser that defines parameters with descriptors.

The primary goals of this project:

• Make it easy to define subcommands and actions in an clean and organized manner

• Allow for inheritance so that common parameters don’t need to be repeated

• Make it easy to handle common initialization tasks for all actions / subcommands once

• Reduce the amount of boilerplate code that is necessary for setting up parsing and handling argument values

Installing CLI Command Parser

CLI Command Parser is available on PyPI:

$ pip install cli-command-parser

There are no required dependencies. Support for formatting wide characters correctly in help text descriptions can be included by adding wcwidth to your project’s requirements, and/or by installing with optional dependencies:

$ pip install cli-command-parser[wcwidth]
