console script boilerplate

console script boilerplate

some boilerplate stuff for console scripts. inspired by now unmaintained pyCLI.

decorate your main function and register it in your setup.py as console_scripts entry_point [1]. the function will receive an app object as argument.

you get:

• pythons ArgumentParser
• KeyboardInterrupt is catched
• SIGTERM is handled, so that context managers will exit properly
• logging helper

exit_handler and sigterm_handler may be customized.

                            help='lower logging threshold, may be used twice')
