handofcats 2.4.2

python function to command translator

A tiny Converter that making executable command script from python function. If the function is type annotated, it is also used.

Please using as_command() decorator.

as_command()

greeting.py

from handofcats import as_command

@as_command
def greeting(message: str, is_surprised: bool = False, name: str = "foo") -> None:
    """greeting message"""
    suffix = "!" if is_surprised else ""
    print("{name}: {message}{suffix}".format(name=name, message=message, suffix=suffix))

$ python greeting.py -h
usage: greeting.py [-h] [--expose] [--is-surprised] [--name NAME] message

greeting message

positional arguments:
  message

optional arguments:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --expose
  --is-surprised
  --name NAME

$ python greeting.py hello
foo: hello
$ python greeting.py --is-surprised hello
foo: hello!
$ python greeting.py --is-surprised --name=bar bye
bar: bye!

(TODO: detail description)

–expose

calling with –expose option, generationg the code that dropping dependencies of handofcats module.

$ python greeting.py --expose
def greeting(message: str, is_surprised: bool = False, name: str = "foo") -> None:
    """greeting message"""
    suffix = "!" if is_surprised else ""
    print("{name}: {message}{suffix}".format(name=name, message=message, suffix=suffix))

def main(argv=None):
    import argparse
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='greeting message')
    parser.print_usage = parser.print_help
    parser.add_argument('message')
    parser.add_argument('--is-surprised', action='store_true')
    parser.add_argument('--name', default='foo', required=False)
    args = parser.parse_args(argv)
    greeting(**vars(args))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

–inplace

With inplace option, when –expose, overwrite target source.

handofcats command

sum.py

def sum(x: int, y: int) -> None:
    print(f"{x} + {y} = {x + y}")

It is also ok, calling the function that not decorated via handofcats command.

$ handofcats sum.py:sum 10 20
10 + 20 = 30

$ handofcats sum.py:sum -h
handofcats sum.py:sum -h
usage: handofcats [-h] [--expose] x y

positional arguments:
  x
  y

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --expose

experimental

sequences

from typing import List, Optional

def psum(xs: List[int], *, ys: Optional[List[int]] = None):
    # treated as
    # parser.add_argument('xs', nargs='*', type=int)
    # parser.add_argument('--ys', action='append', required=False, type=int)
    ..

choices

from typing_extensions import Literal


DumpFormat = Literal["json", "csv"]   # this: (experimental)


def run(*, format: DumpFormat = "json"):
    # treated as
    # parser.add_argument("--format", defaul="json", choices=("json", "csv"), required=False)
    ...
