A library for developing command-line applications in Python.

License PyPI Version Python Versions Documentation Downloads Pytest

The cmdkit library implements a few common patterns needed by well-formed command-line applications in Python. It only touches a few concepts but it implements them well. The idea is to reduce the boilerplate needed to get a full featured CLI off the ground. Applications developed using cmdkit are easy to implement, easy to maintain, and easy to understand.


Features

  • An Interface class for parsing command-line arguments.

  • An Application class that provides the boilerplate for a good entry-point.

  • A Configuration class built on top of a recursive Namespace class that provides automatic depth-first merging of dictionaries from local files, as well as automatic environment variable discovery and type-coercion.


Installation

CmdKit is built on Python 3.7+ and can be installed using Pip.

➜ pip install cmdkit
