cmd2 0.7.2

Extra features for standard library's cmd module

cmd2 is an enhancement to the standard library’s cmd module for Python 2.7 and Python 3.3+. It is pure Python code with dependencies only on the six and pyparsing modules.

The latest documentation for cmd2 can be read online here: https://cmd2.readthedocs.io/

Drop-in replacement adds several features for command-prompt tools:

• Searchable command history (commands: “hi”, “li”, “run”)

• Load commands from file, save to file, edit commands in file

• Multi-line commands

• Case-insensitive commands

• Special-character shortcut commands (beyond cmd’s “@” and “!”)

• Settable environment parameters

• Parsing commands with flags

• > (filename), >> (filename) redirect output to file

• < (filename) gets input from file

• bare >, >>, < redirect to/from paste buffer

• accepts abbreviated commands when unambiguous

• py enters interactive Python console

• test apps against sample session transcript (see examples/example.py)

Usable without modification anywhere cmd is used; simply import cmd2.Cmd in place of cmd.Cmd.
